About Holi (Hindi: होली), or Phagwa (Bhojpuri), is a popular, Hindu spring festival, observed in India and Nepal, also called the Festival of Colours. In West Bengal, it is known as Dolyatra (Doljatra) or Boshonto Utsav ("spring festival").

On the first day, bonfires are lit at night to signify burning the demoness Holika, Hiranyakashipu's sister.

On the second day, known as Dhulhendi, people spend the day throwing coloured powder and water at each other. The spring season, during which the weather changes, is believed to cause viral fever and cold. Thus, the playful throwing of the coloured powders has a medicinal significance: the colours are traditionally made of Neem, Kumkum, Haldi, Bilva, and other medicinal herbs prescribed by Āyurvedic doctors. A special drink called thandai is prepared, sometimes containing bhang (Cannabis sativa). People invite each other to their houses for feasts and celebrations later in the evening.

Wishing all friends at usefilm a very happy Holi

od course an excellent portrait, full of faces, and full of colors too, as there traditional clothing is amazing for me Atish, I also like a lot the soft motion blur that goes more on the hands of the little ladies and gives action into your frame... really force the watchers to think about the movements here...
best regards!
