The festival of Holi is being celebrated across the country today with shades of pink and blue, green and yellow in the air. 

The festival is being celebrated in its full zeal and spirit for the first time after a two-year hiatus induced by the Covid-19 pandemic. 

Prime Minister Narendra Modi extended his greetings on the occasion of the festival of Holi. “Best wishes for Holi. May the colours of joy and enthusiasm always shower in your life,” he tweeted. “Wishing you all a happy and colourful Holi!,” the PM added. 

Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge also wished everyone a happy Holi. 

“Holi celebrates the spirit of togetherness and inspires us to enjoy the diversity of colours. It is a festival to bring people together and strengthen their bond. Hearty greetings and best wishes to everyone on the joyous occasion of Holi,” Kharge said.
