A Holi festival in Washington, DC
The ancient Hindu spring festival known as Holi will find revellers caked in colourful powder by the end of the day. Still celebrated with enthusiasm across India and Nepal, Holi has spread across the globe, both in Hindu populations abroad, and in wider, welcoming celebrations for anyone interested in participating. At most Holi fests, such as this one in Washington DC, attendees are encouraged to wear white, with the understanding that you’ll leave looking like you slept in a rainbow.
