People celebrating Festivals of colors Holi (a part of the celebration of the oneness of the human spirit) at Sri Durga Mata Temple. Holi is a sacred ancient tradition of Hindus, a holiday in many states of India and Nepal with regional holidays in other countries. It is a cultural celebration that gives Hindus and non-Hindus alike an opportunity to have fun banter with other people by throwing colored water and powder called Gulal at each other, honors the triumph of good over evil. Celebrants light bonfires, eat sweets, and dance to traditional folk music.
