Get your pichkaris, gulal,

It is color day!

Pichkari lo, gulaal,
Rango ka din hai!

Author's Note

Holi is celebrated on 14 March which is today. You get a water gun (Pichkari) and fill it with colored water and start shooting others. Gulal is also used as color but you can also use it on someone's face. We also get balloons, fill it with water and start throwing at others. This usually happens in the morning like 10 am.

There is a religious story about a boy named Krishna and a girl named Radha. Radha's face was bright while Krishna's was blue and dark. So he went to complain to his mother. His mother said to color Radha's face. So he went and colored Radha's face. This story made the tradition of Holi, but there are still more stories.
