Holi
Festival of colors, Holi festival, Throwing colored powder
Holi is the Hindu spring festival of colors, when people run through the streets throwing bright powder and water at friends and strangers alike. It celebrates the end of winter and the triumph of good, and for one day ordinary rules relax. In a dream it often carries pure joy and a wish to drop formality. Being covered in color can show you're willing to let old grudges go, since Holi is a time to forgive and start fresh. If you stayed clean while everyone else was covered in color, you may be holding back from fun you'd secretly enjoy.
