<p>Indians and Indian-origin people around the world are celebrating Holi. The annual spring festival of colours is one of the two major Hindu festivals — the other being Diwali — and is celebrated on the full moon day of the Hindu month of Phalguna. The festival has different religious and cultural significance depending on the region where it is celebrated. In general, Holi is a celebration of the arrival of spring and the victory of good over evil. It is also a time for forgiveness, forgetting grudges, and renewing relationships. The main highlight of the festival is the throwing of colored powder and water on each other, which symbolises the breaking down of barriers between people and the celebration of unity in diversity.&nbsp;</p>
