Holi Festival: A Colorful Celebration 🎉

Holi is wild and raucous, a frolic of friendly playful-ness. During Holi, India’s streets are overtaken by crowds awash with colored powder. Not only clothes, but faces, arms and hair are smeared and sprayed with every color of the rainbow. People sing, dance, play, hug each other and smile with such child-like joy that it makes one wonder where so much happiness comes from!

It is a celebration of love, forgiveness, hope and just plain fun.<br /><br /><br /><br />This festival short film was developed by the editors of Hinduism Today magazine.
