Holi

The festival of colours, kept the morning after the Holika bonfire on the first day of Chaitra's dark fortnight. People drench one another in coloured powder and water, visit family and friends and share sweets like gujiya, celebrating spring and Krishna's play with Radha and the gopis of Braj.
