The Festival of Colours Holi, also known as festival of colours, is predominantly a festival of Hindus. Importance wise perhaps it would only be next to Diwali but in some parts, particularly in the northern India, it is celebrated with more enthusiasm and fanfare. It marks the end of the winter season and arrival of the spring symbolic to fertility, thrift and harvest. https://www.boloji.com/articles/15642/the-festival-of-colours
