Holi One consists of throwing brightly coloured paint powder around. All those participating end up covered in vivid shades of red, yellow, pink, green and magenta -typically used by Hindus to celebrate the victory of the spring over the winter. Originally from India, the religious festival dating back thousands of years, is inspiring festival-goers and parties around the world who will be having colourful celebrations this summer.
