HAPPY HOLI EVERYONE!
Today is Holi, the Hindu Festival of Colors. On the first day a bonfire is lit to signify Holi. On the second day people throw colored powder on each other. The festival occurs at the beginning of spring, during which the change in weather is prone to causing colds. Thus the playful throwing of colored powders has a medicinal significance as the colored powders are made of medicinal herbs. (“Hooray for herbs!”) – Kiran
