Each of the major Hindu holidays and festivals includes unique traditions and customs. At the beginning of spring, many Hindus celebrate Holi by lighting bonfires and throwing colorful powders. During Raksha Bandhan, siblings show their love for each other. Sisters give their brothers a special bracelet, and brothers give their sisters a gift such as chocolate, jewelry, or money in return. Diwali is celebrated by lighting clay lamps and exchanging gifts. Clear text and vibrant photos help readers gain a greater understanding of these and other Hindu traditions.
