Festival of Colours

Festival of Colours is a traditional Indian festival which celebrates the coming of spring. It is the most vibrant Indian festival, where distinctions of cast, class, age and gender are set to one side and people overcome their differences to embrace each other. The festival uses the literal throwing of colours to symbolise equality wherein people drenched in different colours lose their identity to become one.

The festival features multi-cultural music and dance, international food, visual arts, cultural arts workshops and exhibitions. The main attraction is the colour powder party where visitors get the opportunity to throw coloured powders at one another providing a powerful and visible depiction of equality and acceptance of cultural diversity.
