In Haryana, the spring festival of Holi is celebrated as a boisterous occasion that reflects the seasonal rhythm of the state's agricultural economy.1

During the festivities, people shower one another with colored powder or colored powder mixed with water. A defining characteristic of the celebration in Haryana is that these activities are performed irrespective of an individual's age or social status, embodying the spirit of the festival where societal boundaries are temporarily transcended.12
