The lovely flowers with their dazzling colors and the sweet songs of the cuckoo provide a charming background to Holi.

2. The Holi celebrations begin on the last day of Phalgun. People collect sticks and straws lying in streets at a place. At night they gather at that place and set fire to the huge pile of sticks and straws. They sing songs to the accompaniment of drums. They are mad with joy. They break up when the fire fades out. They main celebration follows the next day. People are in a happy mood. They sprinkle colored water on one another. They colored water on the passers-by. Even the old people are mad with joy. All people are in a jolly mood. They forget social distinction. They mix with all freely. In our villages people move about with coloured water. They sing, dance, and jump about.
