"Don't Mind, It's Holi!"
Squirting colored water on passers-by, dunking friends in mud pool amidst teasing and laughter, getting intoxicated on bhaang and reveling with companions is perfectly acceptable. In fact, on the days of Holi, you can get away with almost anything by saying, "Don't mind, it's Holi!" (Hindi = Bura na mano, Holi hai).
The Water Ballon, Colourful powders, Water Guns (pichekari), Bhang, musics are the few attractive ingredients of this fest.
Holi is a spring festival also known as the festival of colours & love. It is celebrated with enthusiasm and gaiety on the full moon day in the month of Phalgun which is the month of March as per the Gregorian calendar. Though it is related with religious concept, people celebrate this festival to forget all the pain & stress of life involve in colourful day. It is the day where all family members gather together and wish each other.
Preparations:
"Entire country wears a festive look when it is time for Holi celebration. Market places get abuzz with activity as frenzied shoppers start making preparations for the festival. Heaps of various hues of gulal and abeer can be seen on the roadside days before the festival. Pichkaris in innovative and modern design too come up every year to lure the children who wish to collect them as Holi memorabilia and of course, to drench everybody in the town.
Womenfolk too start making early preparations for the holi festival as they cook loads of gujiya, mathri and papri for the family and also for the relatives. At some places specially in the north women also make papads and potato chips at this time." - source: http://www.holifestival.org
