A celebration aimed to purge oneself all of the bad things which have happened during the last year, the Holi Festival held at Lahore Grounds on Sunday was a celebration of love and colour. The festival kicked off with an hour long talent show where locals showcased their talents in dance and song. Local DJ’s kept scores of people who attended the festival entertained with a variety of music. And while many arrived in white t-shirts, no one left in one after having splashes of colour thrown at them. Joining in the fun was MEC for Human Settlements Ravi Pillay and Msunduzi Mayor Chris Ndlela who on their arrival were smeared with powder and imparted with good wishes.
