Days}[15th
March 1988]
.2020
Apparently
the Hindu festival 'Holi', the Festival of Colours, beginning with
the last full Moon in March – is rooted in fertility rites, with
red dye* splashed around to represent menstruation: women are allowed
to behave flirtatiously, and the Earth awakes from Winter. It is (I
read)** associated with Krishna.
*(&
magenta, yellow, green & crimson.)

/ Harvest House (US), 1985.
