Known internationally as Holi, it is a spring festival of colours, The celebrations start with a Holika bonfire on the night before when people gather, sing and dance. The next morning is a free-for-all carnival of colours where everyone plays, chases, and colours each other with dry powder and coloured water, with some carrying water guns and coloured water-filled balloons for their water fight.  The festival signifies the victory of good over evil, the arrival of spring, the end of winter, and for many a festive day to meet others, play and laugh, forget and forgive, and repair ruptured relationships.
