2. Read the passage below and answer
Holi, known as the festival of colours, is the Hindu festival celebrated by Hindus all over Asia and also by
the people from some parts of Europe and North America. It is mainly observed in India and Nepal.
Holi commemorates the victory of good over evil, marks the arrival of Spring, and a time to give thanks for
the good harvest. The dates change each year according to the full moon, but it is normally in March and
sometimes in late February and lasts for a night and a day.
Traditional Holi celebrations start the night before Holi with a Hollka Dahan where people gather around a
bonfire and perform religious rituals praying that evil will be destroyed. The next morning is a free-for-all festival
of colours. People chase each other, smear each other with paint, throw coloured paint powder over each other,
and drench each other with coloured water. Some people carry waterguns and coloured water-filled balloons for
their water fight. In the evening, people visit houses of their friends and relatives and share sweets and other food
items.
