Today marks the Holi festival in India, which sees revellers smearing each other with colors. It doesn’t stop at the real world either, as Google has included a nifty Holi easter egg to mark the occasion (h/t: 9to5Google).

Simply search for “holi” or “holi festival” in Google Search on your desktop or smartphone and then click/tap the three bowls of color powder in the Holi info card to activate this easter egg.
