THE non-stop Holi Masti event organised by the Fijian Broadcasting Corporation Ltd at the Damodar City Centre in Suva on Saturday attracted thousands of people who got together to celebrate the festival of colours.

People from all communities turned up to enjoy the festival in a vibrant and fun-filled atmosphere.

Holi is a sacred ancient tradition of Hindus, a celebration that gives Hindus and non-Hindus alike an opportunity to have fun and play with other people by throwing coloured water and powder at each other.

Each colour has a meaning – red for love, yellow for knowledge, green for new beginnings and blue for divinity.
