Holi is a Hindu festival that came from India but is now celebrated all over the world
The festival celebrates, spring, love, and new life - People throw coloured powder at each other until everything and everyone is covered in colour
Holi is celebrated at the end of the winter season, on the last full moon of the lunar month. This year, festivities in Dubai were cancelled due to the ongoing coronavirus outbreak around the world.
Holi aims to bring people from all different backgrounds together to celebrate.
As part of the celebration, people dance and eat special foods
On the night before Holi, Hindus dress in their best clothes and watch a bonfire. The next morning, people put on old clothes and douse each other with coloured powders. It’s the one day of the year that parents encourage their children to get filthy!
