Spring Fever

Today, while North India celebrates Holi, a sort of Bachhalian festival
It's also the Chinese Valentine's day...

Today is the Festival of lanterns, ending the New Year festivities
of the year of the Golden Pig..

Thousands of floating lanterns with prayers for finding love and romance
will flow down several rivers and streams in China.

The Floating lantern festival usually coincides with the Holi festival in India
because they are both held on the full moon day in almanacs that are based on lunar
calculations...
