INDIA - Revellers, with their clothes dyed in myriad hues, thronged lanes and bylanes dancing to the accompaniment of drums as gusto and bonhomie marked the Holi festival which passed off peacefully across the country on Sunday. Forgetting all rancour and old grievances, people from all walks of life exchanged hugs and embraces wishing “Happy Holi” as unseen hands squirted them with a well-timed coloured water spray. Water-filled balloons were hurtled down from rooftops and balconies as cries of “Holi hai” reverberated the streets which presented a riot of colours. Musical soirees were held at many places to mark the festival which bids adieu to winter and heralds the spring season. The Holy city Mathura was soaked in colours as tens of thousands of pilgrims descended on the land of Lord Krishna to celebrate the exuberant festival of colours. [link]
