'Holi also known as the "festival of colours", is an Indian festival celebrated all across the Indian subcontinent as well as in countries with large Indian subcontinent diaspora populations.
It signifies the victory of good over evil, the arrival of spring, end of winter, and for many a festive day to meet others, play and laugh, forget and forgive, and repair broken relationships. It is also celebrated as a thanksgiving for a good harvest.
Holi frolic and celebrations begin the morning after the Holika bonfire. There is no tradition of holding puja (prayer), and the day is for partying and pure enjoyment. Children and young people form groups armed with dry colours, coloured solution and water guns, water balloons filled with coloured water, and other creative means to colour their targets.
After a day of play with colours, people clean up, wash and bathe, sober up and dress up in the evening and greet friends and relatives by visiting them and exchanging sweets. Holi is also a festival of forgiveness and new starts, which ritually aims to generate harmony in the society.

I did this painting on Strathmore 300gsm thich paper 12"x15" with acrylics. Then I used some filters on the image to straighten the colours and contrast.
Enjoy!
