Holi is festival of colors in India। Holi is mostly celebrated by Hindus but other religions in India also celebrate this festival because Holi is also the symbol for meeting each other and making relationship better. In Bhojpuri Language, it is also known as "Phagwa". Foreigners also come to India during Holi time and they enjoy play with Holi specially in Jaipur, Gujarat. In Indian state West Bengal, Holi is known as Doljatra (Dolyatra). Some also call it as Boshonto Utsav, which means Spring Festival.
As we all know that Holi is the festival to enjoy & strengthening the relationship with your loved ones & friendship. It is a tradition and practised that (not all parts in India) that in the Holi, people use to exchange gifts. Generally, most of the people exchange sweets as they start the day with the sweets. Most of them make sweets at their home. North Indian people use to gift Garments for Married Daughters and to their husband family.

मक्की की रोटी, निम्बू का आचार, सूरज की किरने,
खुशियों की बहार,
चाँद की चंडी, अपनों का प्यार, मुबारक हो आपको,
होली का त्यौहार.
खा के गुजिया, पी के भांग, लागा के थोड़ा थोड़ा सा रंग,
बजा के ढोलक और मृदंग, खेले होली हम तेरे संग. होली मुबारक!!
Wish u all the colors of life, colors of joy & colors of happiness। Happy Holi.
