GALLERY: Havre des Pas bursts with colour as Holi takes over

Monday 13 March 2023


Havre Des Pas was bursting with colour over the weekend as islanders celebrated the Holi Festival of Colours.

More than 100 people attended this year's celebration of the Holi Festival, hosted by the Jersey Hindu Mandir, at the Lido.

Following a speech from community member Nirupa Ramanathan on the importance of the Hindu festival, those in attendance followed the famous Holi tradition of drenching each other with bright colours.
