Every piece of land in India celebrates the festival of colours

Known as Holi, it marks the beginning of summer

Water and colours surround every place

There’s a grin on everyone’s face

 

There’s a well-known story behind this festival

With a demon having to fall

A young devotee with strong willpower

Had enough strength to withstand a burning fire

 

Children carry their water guns around

Blasting people with water smooth and sound

Colours are the centre of celebrations

Every colour gets gigantic, impassable rations

 

Celebrate this occasion in an eco-friendly way

Use colours that don’t harm the environment, Earth says

Make this exquisite practice even more fun

Never waste water, when you are playing in dusk, or even under the sun

 

So this is Holi, a grand festival of happiness

Therefore, be carefree and never take stress

Mind your own safety too, and take care of it

 After this Holi, make sure that you’re very fit
