Happy Holi!

 

Despite the snowy start to the Holi celebrations this year, that doesn’t dampen the festive spirit with the victory of good over evil and the arrival of ‘spring’; albeit a white one! Still ready to add colour, some Holi enthusiasts are all set to paint the city red and we have put together a list of events that will keep your spirits high. However, a word of caution, do call them to check if they have been affected by the beast from the east or Storm Emma.
