Millions of people in South Asia are celebrating Holi, the Hindu festival of colors, by smearing each other with brightly colored powder, dancing to festive music and feasting on traditional sweets prepared for the occasion.

Holi, the annual colorful festival that marks the end of winter and beginning of spring, will be celebrated later this month across North Jersey.

People gathered at École Mathieu-Martin in Dieppe on Sunday to celebrate Holi, an Indian festival featuring bursts of colour.
