Holi: springing of the year

Holi (in India) is also called the Spring Festival [1] 
as it marks the arrival of spring [2], the season of hope and joy. 

The gloom of the winter goes away as Holi [3] promises of warmth and bright sunshine..

This is also a time when farmers are happy with their mustard, wheat and other crops in the field 
and so are many more visitors: 
i.e. various kind of insect and bees with vivid beauties; 
as if to greet this festivity !!
