Millions in South Asia celebrated Holi, the vibrant Hindu festival of colors marking spring and the triumph of good over evil. Originating from Hindu mythology, it commemorates the divine love of Krishna and Radha. People donned white clothes and joyfully smeared themselves with brightly colored powders, danced in the streets, and enjoyed traditional foods like thandai and gujia. In cities like New Delhi and Ahmedabad, public spaces were transformed into colorful gatherings filled with music and festivities, embodying the spirit of fun, community, and renewal.
"It's time for fun and frolic," said Krisha Bedi, a lawyer, whose face was covered with red, green, and blue colors, commenting on the joyous nature of Holi celebration.
The festival sees Hindus celebrating the end of winter and the triumph of good over evil, marked by vibrant displays of color and joyous gatherings.
In New Delhi, a rainbow haze hung in the air around a park where friends splashed one another with pigmented powder and colored water.
In Ahmedabad, thousands gathered at a temple sprayed with colored water from huge pipes while swaying to traditional Gujarati music.
