Holi, aka the Hindu festival of colors and love, was celebrated yesterday in India.
The tradition marks the start of spring and is "purely a day of fun," with thousands of people gathering in the streets and their communities to throw colored powders and paints on each other to celebrate.
In the know: Each color means something different:
- Blue is for Krishna, a Hindu god portrayed with blue skin.
- Green is symbolic of rebirth and new beginnings.
- Red is the color of marriage and can symbolize matrimony or fertility.
- Yellow, the color of turmeric, is often used on auspicious occasions.
