[2] During Ranga Panchami, people sprinkle or smear colored powder on each other, similar to Holi.

Ranga Panchami is a popular festival in Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Karnataka.

The word "ranga" means colour, and "panchami" refers to the fifth day in the Hindu month.

Ranga Panchami is celebrated as a festival of love and colour, associated with the divine couple Radha Krishna.

According to another legend it shares with Holi, it is regarded to mark the event of the salvation of Prahlada from a bonfire lit by his aunt Holika, the sister of the asura king Hiranyakashipu.
