Holi is a Hindu spring festival of colors celebrated around the world signifying the victory of goodness and a time to celebrate, forgive, and embrace. It has also become popular with non-Hindus that just like to party. According to tradition there are rituals around a bonfire and prayers that any remaining evil in them will be destroyed. People are drenched in colors (preferably natural dyes) and spray each of with water and create a general fiesta of chaos. There are usually drums, instruments and dancing with customary food and drinks, some of which are intoxicants.
