Millions of Indians, both at home and abroad, are joyously celebrating Holi, the festival of colors.
This vibrant festival marks the arrival of spring and the triumph of good over evil.
People smear bright colors on each other, offer prayers, and light bonfires as part of the festivities. Holi is rooted in Hindu mythology, with bonfires symbolizing the destruction of evil.
In Gujarat, a massive bonfire was lit using tons of wood, continuing a 700-year-old tradition.
People across India travel to their hometowns, participate in processions, dance, sing, and enjoy feasts.
Children play with water pistols, spreading colorful joy. Even in neighboring Nepal, spirited Holi celebrations are underway.
It’s a time of unity, merriment, and colorful revelry for all.
