PHO­TOS: VIN­DRA GOPAUL-BOODAN

All over the world, Hin­dus cel­e­brat­ed the Spring fes­ti­val of Holi, known lo­cal­ly as Phag­wa, by paint­ing each oth­er in bright col­ors, dis­trib­ut­ing sweets and squirt­ing wa­ter at one an­oth­er.

The hol­i­day, which cel­e­brat­ed main­ly in In­dia and Nepal, as well as in the In­di­an di­as­po­ra, marks the be­gin­ning of spring and the tri­umph of good over evil.

In osme places, bon­fires were burned overnight, and on Mon­day, Hin­dus threw col­ored, dry pow­der and wa­ter in cel­e­bra­tion.

Lo­cal­ly, some Phag­wa cel­e­bra­tions took place at the An­tilles Trace Recre­ation Grounds, Pe­nal on Sun­day.

Among those tak­ing part in the joy­ful cel­e­bra­tions was Oropouche West MP Sta­cy Roop­nar­ine.
