Holi is the festival of colours, a celebration of energy, joy and, of course, family ties and intimacy. It marks the blooming of spring after a long winter. On the day of Holi, people gather together and apply dry and wet colors on each other.
Many people, especially children, celebrate this holiday by playing with water-filled balloons and water guns. Like any other festival, people also enjoy special Holi delicacies like gujiya with each other.
