Holi is an annual festival celebrated on the day after the full moon in the Hindu month of Phalguna (early March). It celebrates spring, commemorates various events in Hindu mythology and is time of disregarding social norms and indulging in general merrymaking.
Apart from this text book definition what i know about holi is - it is the festival of colors, people of different age, sex and community come together and play with dry colors. It is the festival of cultural harmony.
I believe it is this color that overlays the cultural differentiation and showcases the people as one! This video though is mute but captures the traditional essences of the holi as the festival of colors and togetherness!
