Google is marking the Holi 2017 Festival — a Hindu celebration most often observed in India and Nepal — with a Google doodle reflecting a vibrant mix of colors associated with the holiday.

The doodle leads to a search for “Holi Festival” and is being displayed on a number of Google’s home pages throughout the world.

“Today, the Google letters are taking on a fresh set of colors in honor of the Holi festival,” reports the Google Doodle Blog, “Coinciding with the arrival of spring, the vibrant celebration looks a lot like the Doodle: people run around happily covering each other in a rainbow of powdery hues.”

Google says the Hindu holiday — a “Festival of Colors” — is an opportunity for festival-goers to sing and dance in the streets, marking the triumph of good over evil.
