The festival involves people spraying others with water or dousing each other in colour. All are welcomed to enjoy the festivities. The festivals roots and reasoning’s are contested, but ISKCON believes the festival was created in homage of the God Krishna. Krishna (the eighth avatar of Vishnu) as myth had it, would playfully spray coloured water over his friends and visa-versa. The festival takes place in February or March and acts as a new year’s, each beginning free or past grievances. Holi
Regulation Colours Regulation Colours The "Regulation Colours" are the standard colours used in the armed forces of the countries falling under the Commonwealth of Nations. United Kingdom military units usually carry two Regulation Colours. These are the Regulation Queen's Colour and Regulation Regimental Colour. These are often referred to as the standard or ensign. Colours are the identifying battle flags carried by military regiments to show where their respective troops should rally in battle. Originally these were 6'6" x 6' in size, though have now been reduced to 3'9" x 3', as regiments no longer carry their colours on the battlefield. Prior
