Holi, the vibrant Hindu festival of colours, heralds the advent of spring with a joyous annual celebration steeped in cultural and religious significance. Observed widely in India, Nepal, other South Asian nations, and across the global diaspora, the festival is a profound celebration of love, symbolising rebirth and rejuvenation – a time to embrace positivity and release negative energies.
For one of Holi’s most iconic traditions, participants, often dressed in white, take to the streets to playfully douse each other with vibrant powdered dyes, creating a kaleidoscope of pigments and shared happiness.
