The Holi Festival is a celebration in India. The festival has many purposes. They are celebration a new season, Spring. The Hindus believe it is a time to enjoy the colors of Spring and say good bye to Winter. The festival also has religious purposes. During the festival there are bonfires, wild celebrations, and an event where they throw colored powder at each other.
The part that I found most interesting was the color fight. I thought it was very interesting that this piece of their celebration has moved into other cultures. The aspect of color is very appealing to all cultures. In our culture we have even added color to our athletic events. The Color Run is becoming more and more popular throughout the Unites States.
