In India, we have festivals for every season. For spring we have - Holi, also known as "Basant Utsav" meaning "Spring Festival". The festival has many purposes, but most prominently, it celebrates the
beginning of Spring. In 17th century literature, it was identified as a
festival that celebrated agriculture, spring harvests
and the fertile land. Hindus believe it is a time of enjoying spring's abundant colours and
saying farewell to winter. So do I! Saying good bye to winter..
