Millions of people in India and Nepal celebrated the Hindu festival of Holi last month. On this day, people smear colourful powder on each other, use squirt guns to spray friends, dance to music in the streets, and enjoy festive food and drink.

Also known as the “Festival of Colours”, Holi marks the arrival of spring. It celebrates the divine love between the Hindu god Krishna and his consort Radha. The festival also signifies new beginnings, and it is a time to let go of negative energy.
