Holi

This is the most colorful festival for me because why? You can see it by yourselves through the picture.

Holi Festival is the name for this festival. It is mean festival colors or festival of love. The festival started at India and then spread to the Europe and North America. Malaysia also held this colorful of festival. 

A night before Holi, people gather and celebrate 'Holika Bonfire'. They gather, sing and dance around the fire. Tomorrow morning, the festival of color start ! They  play, chase and colour each other with dry powder and colored water, with some carrying water guns and colored water-filled balloons for their water fight.

This is the powder or known as the weapon for the participant at that day. 

Can you feel the enjoyment of this festival? Everyone can join this festival. Rich or poor. Friend or stranger. Anyone. The fight held at open streets, open park, outside temples and the buildings. There have some people bring along the drums and musical instruments. They play the instruments along their walk and at that moment, the participants automatically dance.

In the afternoon, they go to visit the family. It's similar with every celebration around the world. They will dress up and go to visit their family and friends.

 The words Holi come from 'Holika', the evil sister of of demon king Hiranyakashipu. That's why the night before Holi day, they make a circle surrounding the bonfire. 'Holika' is a reminder of the symbolic victory of good over evil, of Prahlada over Hiranyakashipu, of fire that burned Hiranyakashipu.

This is what people called beauty of the culture.
