A riot of colour, spirituality and exuberance, Holi is perhaps India’s most joyful and spectacular event. The spring festival is celebrated across the country, starting with the lighting of bonfires to signify the burning of demons. At the height of Holi, tens of thousands of people throng the narrow lanes of the ancient city, towards the Krishna temple which is the focus of celebrations.
