DRMumbai: Colours, bhaang, music, laughter and the feeling of togetherness are synonymous with the Festival of Colours, Holi. Traditionally, Holi in India is celebrated all across the country marking the victory of good over evil. The festival bids farewell to winter and is a harbinger of spring and good-tidings.
In what comes as a revelation, the famous Indian cultural celebration has seen replication across the globe – with each place giving it a little twist of its own. Here’s a peek into how Holi is celebrated in the City of Angels:
Los Angeles

The colours represent all the colours of spring, and the diversity among human and animal kind which makes life interesting and profitable.
