A festival of revelry and colour Holi is a main festival especially in north india, among the Hindus.

Navroz, the first day of the Zoroastrian calendar, will be celebrated in a big way by Iranis and Parsis.

Good Friday will be observed by the Christians to commemorate the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. This will be followed by the Easter celebrations on Sunday.
