Read the following passage and answer the questions.
Holi celebrations start on the night before Holi with a Holika Dahan where people gather, perform religious rituals in front of the bonfire, and pray that their internal evil be destroyed the way Holika, the sister of the demon king Hiranyakashipu, was killed in the fire. The next morning is celebrated as Rangwali holi - a free-for-all festival of colours, where people smear each other with colours and drench each other. Water guns and water-filled balloons are also used to pray and colour each other. Anyone and everyone is fair game, friend or stranger, rich or poor, man or woman, children or elders. The frolic and fight with colours occur in open streets, open parks, outside temples and buildings. Groups cany drums and other musical instruments, go from place to place, sing and dance. People visit family, friends and foes to throw coloured powders on each other, laugh and gossip then share Holi delicacies, food and drinks. Some customary drinks include bhang (made from cannabis), which is intoxicating. In the evening, people dress up and visit friends and family.
