    What It Is

    The full moon of Phalguna — a spring festival celebrating divine love (Radha and Krishna), the triumph of Prahlada's devotion over Holika's tyranny, and the joyful dissolution of caste, grudges, and separation in a rain of colored powder.

    How to Observe It

    Forgive someone today. Play, laugh, and let color into a place that has grown gray. The bonfire of the night before burns away last year's resentments — light one, even a small one.
