Step 1 : Introduction to the question " What is the pictured body art originating in ancient India called? "

...

Mehndi is a form of body art originating in ancient India, in which decorative designs are created on a person's body, using a paste, created from the powdered dry leaves of the henna plant.

The use of mehndi and turmeric is described in the earliest Hindu Vedic ritual books. It was originally used for only women's palms and sometimes for men, but as time progressed, it was more common for men to wear it. Staining oneself with turmeric paste, as well as mehndi, are Vedic customs, intended to be a symbolic representation of the outer and the inner sun. Vedic customs are centered on the idea of "awakening the inner light".

[Ans] From the late 1920s until the early 1950s, stop signs were not red, but what color?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question "From the late 1920s until the early 1950s, stop signs were not red, but what color?"

For nearly 30 years, yellow was the standard color for stop signs. In fact, the red stop sign that we are familiar with today has only been the standard for the last 70 years. Previously, the octagonal traffic sign was yellow, somewhat smaller than the modern version, and featured the word "STOP" in black letters. Yellow was chosen for its high visibility, particularly at night, ensuring that drivers could easily see and respond to the signs. It wasn't until 1954 that the stop sign adopted the bright red color with white letters that we are familiar with today.

[Answer] What country is home to the spring festival called "Holi"?

Step 1 : Introduction to the question " What country is home to the spring festival called "Holi"? "

...

Holi is a Hindu spring festival celebrated in India and Nepal, also known as the "festival of colors" or the "festival of love". The festival signifies the victory of good over evil, the arrival of spring, end of winter, and for many a festive day to meet others, play and laugh, forget and forgive, and repair broken relationships. It is also celebrated as a thanksgiving for a good harvest. It lasts for a night and a day, starting on the evening of the Purnima (Full Moon day) falling in the Vikram Samvat Hindu Calendar month of Phalgun, which falls somewhere between the end of February and the middle of March in the Gregorian calendar.

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 colors, where people smear each other with colors and drench each other. Water guns and water-filled balloons are also used to play and color each other.

Holi is an important spring festival for Hindus, a national holiday in India, a regional holiday in Nepal and other countries. The festival of Holi caught the fascination of European traders and British colonial staff by the 17th century. Various old editions of Oxford English Dictionary mention it.
