Holi is one of the biggest festival in India. Celebrated in the month of March it is called the festival of colors. Adults and kids come out to play with water and colors, the scents of gulal fill the air and there is masti every where. Like any other festivals, this is also the time of enjoying with family and friends and when there is a get together, the food is definitely on high priority.
