People of all ages chased relatives and friends with handfuls of coloured powder as they heralded the beginning of spring.

Known by many as the ‘festival of colours’, Holi marks the end of winter and the beginning of a new season. It is a celebration of good over evil and, for many of the faithful, it is also a celebration of friendship.

This year, Holi fell on March 20 but, throughout the past weeks, various Indian communities around the globe gathered for Holi celebrations.

As has been the case in recent years, the Maltese-Indian Community welcomed the spring season in Santa Venera with people of different nationalities attending the activity.
