Cultural Celebrations

This week we would like to wish everyone who celebrates the Holi Festival, Happy Holi!

Holi is a vibrant Hindu festival often called the Festival of Colours. It celebrates the arrival of spring, the triumph of good over evil, and new beginnings. People throw coloured powder at each other, families and friends gather to celebrate and bonfires are often lit the night. Holi began in India and Nepal, but it is now celebrated around the world, including in Australia, by Hindu communities and many others who join in the festivities.
