In March, the festival of Holi is celebrated which is a winter harvest and the advent of spring. Holis or bonfires are lit in the night and people gather to worship the fire-god, who is believed to burn away all evil. People throw colored water over each other and have great fun on this occasion. This is an important festival celebrated all over north India and in several places in the South of India.

Holi is celebrated with great enthusiasm in Maharashtra, and make sure you avoid going out in the morning of that day if don't want any colours thrown on you.
