Hindus around the globe and in Fiji are celebrating the festival of colours, Holi.
The sacred festival in Sanatan Dharma, symbolises the victory of good over evil.
Shree Sanatan Dharm Pratinidhi Sabha of Fiji president Dhirendra Nand said Holi’s vibrant colours represented joy, unity and diversity.
“Holi marks the triumph of lord Vishnu’s devotee, Prahalad over his tyrant father, Hiranyakashipu, and the burning of Holika representing the destruction of evil,” Mr Nand said.
“Each colour hold meaning – red for love, yellow for knowledge, green for new beginnings and blue for divinity.
“In Fiji, it brings communities together, fostering Sanatan values of harmony and devotion.”
He said the festival also signified that good always wins over evil.
“Hindus celebrate Holi with Holika Dahan (bonfire) on the eve, symbolising the burning of negativity.”
