OTTAWA, March 21, 2019

Today, Hindu communities in Canada and around the world celebrate Holi.

Also known as the Festival of Colours, Holi marks the end of winter and the arrival of spring. It is a time for celebrating peace, friendship and the triumph of good over evil—of light over darkness. Families and friends gather to sing, dance, light bonfires, and spray each other with water and coloured powders.
