PAS HOLI CELEBRATION 2023 / 2024
Holi is a popular ancient Hindu festival, also known in the Northern Hemisphere as the Festival of Spring, the Festival of Colours or the Festival of Love. The festival celebrates the eternal and divine love of Radha Krishna. It also signifies the triumph of good over evil, as it celebrates the victory of Lord Vishnu as Narasimha Narayana over Hiranyakashipu. It originated and is predominantly celebrated in the Indian subcontinent but has also spread to other regions of Asia and parts of the Western world through the Indian diaspora.
With South Africa being known as the Rainbow Nation, the Holi festival has taken on a unique flavour. Events often include traditional Indian music and dance, vegetarian food, and of course, celebrating with coloured powder!
Overall, the Holi festival is celebrated in many different ways around the world, but it is always a joyful and colourful celebration of life.
