Ị Read th€ article about Holi, For questions 52-57, choose the correct answer: A, B, C or D

Many people know about the Hindu festival Diwali, as it is probably the most famous one, but have you everheard of Holỉ This is a spring celebration, connected with the moon and - in Western India only - with the wheatharvest lt is celebrated on the day of the full moon, either in February or March

As with most Indian festivals, there are regional custom variations throughout Indiạ Where my family and I live,

we always build a bonfirẹ We sort out all the objects associated with what is not wanted from the previous year sothat they can be thrown onto the firẹ You see our New Year begins immediately after Holị We also prepare colouredwater and powders to throw at each other on the daỵ For this reason, it is advisable not to wear your best clothesfor Holi! lt is a very funny thing to see, but so is the day itself; it is dedicated to the god Krishna and it is characterised

by laughter and jollitỵ That's why people throw coloured water and powders in all colours of the rainbow at eachother The streets look as if there was an explosion in a paint factory!

Of course, despite its joyful character, the day has a more serious side toọ The burning of objects in the bontiresymbolises getting yourself clean and ready for the New Year That's why people pay or forgive debts, becomelriends and forgive each other and generally try to forget and leave behind any fights or anything negative from theold year Holi is a festival which ends the year on a happy note and begins the New Year on a fresh, hopeful onẹ
