India exploded into a color riot as millions gathered to usher in Holi 2025, the legendary Festival of Colors that welcomes the arrival of spring. Streets and villages were flooded with festive partygoers painting each other in bright colors, dancing to classical tunes, and feasting on celebratory sweets.
From the streets of Delhi to Varanasi ghats, Holi united communities, overcoming social barriers through laughter, love, and oneness. Travelers and residents alike celebrated the mood of the festival, partaking in rain dances, flower showers, and vibrant cultural performances.
Religious ceremonies were also followed, with Holika Dahan fires being lit the previous night to represent the triumph of good over evil. Temples and houses were decorated with vibrant colors, while special Holi sweets such as gujiya and thandai contributed to the festive atmosphere.
While India celebrates Holi with uncontrolled enthusiasm, the festival continues to propagate its message of rebirth, unity, and the victory of positivity over negativity.
