Holi is a Hindu holiday celebrated the day after the full moon in early March and glorifies the good harvest and fertility of the land in India.

Furthermore, this festival also celebrates the beginning of spring and the end of winter, symbolizing the victory of good over evil according to a legend of God Krishna.

This festival can last up to 16 days depending on where it is celebrated. There's music, food and, of course, paint for people to throw at each other.

Holi celebration takes place anywhere in the world as long as there is a local Indian community.

In this festival, there is a popular drink "Bhang" which is made from cannabis and is sold to the public.

The entrance to the festival is free.
