You may not know that this is the season of the Holi festival for Hindus. I didn't know until just yesterday. It's a festival celebrating Spring; it's celebrated in several ways, not the least interesting of which is by painting people and things in a rainbow of colors. Here's something from a website I visite: ‘Holi’ falls on the full moon, in the month of Phalgun, which spans the end of Februry and the beginning of March on the Gregorian calendar. A time when Spring is in the air.
Here are some websites that discuss Holi in more detail:

This year's festival has passed; next year, Holi will be on March 3, 2007.
