Holi is one of the most famous festivals in India and it is played in most of the States with different names..
It is a festival of colours, sweets, friendship
and happiness, water and balloons added to it later on..
What is one thing people miss out in such festivals is confusing fun with being intimidating, most of the girls feel insecure during this time of the year and not just girls people walking on streets or driving two wheelers.. Because parents,, oh they are so busy in telling their children “go out and play”, but with whom and how, they always miss that..
Balloons are other threat because every year there are end number of cases come up about accidents and injuries during this period of the year.
I wish parents could tell their children how safety is more important than any kind of fun.. And also play is two sided, other party should also participate then only it is play otherwise it is teasing, hitting, bullying and many more..
Play holi.. With colours, with people who know you and you know them, with love and affection, with respect and care..
Play holi because playing is fun..
Happy holi to all.
Enjoy. With your people.
Stay happy.
I have never heard of that festival I have heard of Hopi though, what is the reason for the festival has it anything to do with spring time?

It is more about the weather change from winter to summer and also every state has its own relevance for playing it with colours or something else. Other relevance is based on the story of Holika a mythic tale.

So it’s not just about colours but also about some rituals and beliefs.. This is basically two days festival. On first day people worship and second day they play.

I love the colours and sense of fun whenever I have seen photos of Holi celebrations. When I upend my bucket of deadheaded flowers into my compost bin, I often think it looks like the colours from the Holi festival. I am sorry that it is marred by some bad behaviour.
