No matter where they are, people come home to celebrate the festival with their families.

Pancakes are an important part of the celebration because they are round, yellow and hot, just like the sun. The festival lasts for a week. There are special activities. It is perhaps the most cheerful holiday in Russia.
The Festival of Colours: Every year, Indian people celebrate this festival to greet the coming of spring. During the celebration, people pray, dance and share special food.
