One of the biggest Hindu festivals, Holi is celebrated with much fervour and enthusiasm all over the country. Called the festival of colours, Holi is a festival when friends, family, relatives and strangers, all come together and celebrate. Families, especially children, wait for the festival, having prepared their water guns and water-filled balloons at least a week in advance. On the eve of Holi, people come together for the symbolic celebration of Holika Dahan. Holi’s second day, also called Dulahndi, is marked by people exchanging sweets and mingling among themselves.
