It sounds like a wonderful time! I had not heard of it before, but it almost sounds like a festival celebrating spring, with all of the wonder colors. I'd just love to see some pictures if you have any to post. I hope you enjoy the celebration!

If you don't mind me asking, is this a celebration to usher in spring? I would be interested in learning the history. I wish I could see it, it must be wonderful!

Happy Holi to you too. Our college is going to be closed as there are consecutive festivals if Muslims and then Holi so we celebrated it yesterday in advance.We celebrate Holi every year at home and being a joint family its a celebration we look forward to. We start our day by putting Abir to our Grandparents and then everything becomes fun and chaotic. So many relatives come over to our place.I hope nothing goes wrong this Holi.
