This festival occurs at the onset of spring. This period, during which the weather changes, is prone to cause viral fever and cold. Thus, the playful throwing of the coloured powders has a medicinal significance as the coloured powders are made of Neem, Kumkum, Haldi, Bilva, and other medicinal herbs prescribed by Ayurvedic doctors.
That's why colours are used but the worst part is that people misuses this oppertunity by teasing girls and women with colours and they also use dungs which also reflects their dark side...
