Holi is a vibrant and ancient Hindu festival that symbolises love, friendship and the victory of good over evil. It is a day to let go of grievances, celebrate with friends and family, and spread joy, usually by applying gulal and sharing sweets. Even travellers visiting India during this lively spring festival find themselves wrapped in unforgettable moments of happiness. In an Instagram video, a heartwarming exchange unfolds between an Indian youngster and two foreign travellers on Holi.
