Holi is a vibrant and joyous festival celebrated across India, usually in March. It marks the arrival of spring and the triumph of good over evil. People celebrate Holi by smearing each other with colorful powders called "gulal" and spraying water with water guns and balloons. It is a time for joy, forgiveness, and togetherness, as people come together to dance, sing, and indulge in delicious sweets and snacks.
