Festival<br />
of<br />
colours<br />
Dol or Dolyatra or Holi is celebrated every year on the<br />
fifteenth day of the lunar month in the Bangla month of<br />
Falgun, which usually falls somewhere between the end<br />
of February and the middle of March. The traditional<br />
Hindu festival is celebrated with the worship of the<br />
deities Radha and Krishna.<br />
Images of the two deities are sprinkled with the red<br />
powder known as avir. After the ritual people start to<br />
splash or sprinkle colours on each other. Holi festival<br />
was celebrated last week all across the country. The<br />
festival celebrates the end of a season and symbolises<br />
leaving behind all the darkness. These pictures were<br />
taken at Charukala (Institute of Fine Arts) in Shahbag.<br />
