Bursts of colour, joy and love - this is what to expect during Holi festival.
The two-day Hindu celebration is a spectacular event honouring spring and new life. Festival-goers cover each other with brightly coloured paint and water on the streets, creating a sight to behold.
On the first day of Holi, people gather around a bonfire to celebrate the triumph of good over evil. They throw roasting grains, popcorn, coconut and chickpeas onto the bonfire.
