I would have thought that the numerous pictures would have told you that this was not Chinese
Is this the festival where they throw the coloured dust? I've seen this on TV, I can't remember what it brepresents, give us an explanation please =D
And Happy Holi to you
Thanks ..... you get it right ....... in this festival we plays with colours and it represents love and friendship ...... but it has many other meanings too ..... and here it means a lot to us in INDIA

hmm okk ......... sorry i wasnt that aware of it ..... but according to panchang it will start from first navratre of chetra
i will ask elders on this .......
Well My mother told me that if you go to villages Banaras and around they call Holika dahan as "samavat jalana" so basically they say goodbye to the last year and all though school in UP Board they taught the same thing back then. We used to start introduction as "Holi is a new year festival."

Coming of spring and starting of new year calender in some regions of India. There are some colourful story of an Avatara of Vishnu, Narasinha, and him killing a demon surrounding it too but the festival itself is rather secular by nature so it managed to appeal many beyond those regions and communities.
Last day of the year leaves with a large bon fire and the next morning people meet each other to greet them and share various special snacks and dishes along with playing with colours and all. The chance to show lot of colour and heroine in wet cloth made it a popular theme for Bollywood moives too - partial reason of wider popularity.
Also a day for pulling pranks on others or being a goofball oneself- there used to be competition where people competed for "Idiot of the day" award. lol Though that tradition is dying because TV and internet stole that kind of free time.
Now that I think about it Corgi is kind of playing Holi already.

Ain't Holi tomorrow :|
OT: Happy Holi to all NB from my left ventricle(a chamber in heart
lol... I call the day of clour as Holi myself. But the term Holi kind of combines two days. Today is Holika dahan.
Besides many call the day of Holika dahan as Holi and day of colour as dhulandi. Never liked the other term and not sure of it's origin either but yea.

Well if we are counting it all they start laying the wood for Holika Dahan today from Shivaratri.
As for Mathura and Vrindavan - -_- they seem to have commercialized it a lot.
