Holi, the festival that marks the end of winter and the beginning of spring, officially starts on March 24.
During the holiday, which is also symbolic of good over evil, people celebrate by taking part in religious prayers and throwing powdered colour.
On this day, family and friends gather to celebrate by playing with vibrant hues of reds, purples and greens, with one aim in mind: get your loved one covered in powder from head to toe.
