First of all, Wishing you a very happy holi to all of you! For your convenience here’s a small excerpt from Wikipedia that tells you more about the festival of Holi.
The main day, Holi, also known as Dhulheti, Dhulandi or Dhulendi, is celebrated by people throwing coloured powder and coloured water at each other.
