As Hindus across Fiji and around the world celebrate Holi, the Festival of Colours, the Indian High Commissioner to Fiji, Suneet Mehta highlights that the festival is not only a celebration of vibrant colours and cherished traditions, but also a reflection of the nation’s rich multicultural heritage and harmony.
Mehta describes the festival as a time of joy, renewal and togetherness, and says the occasion symbolises the triumph of good over evil, hope over despair, and unity over division.
He says Holi marks the arrival of spring and brings families and communities together in a spirit of friendship and forgiveness.
He adds that, in Fiji, the festival showcases the enduring cultural ties between India and Fiji and the shared values that bind their peoples.
The High Commissioner expressed hope that the colours of Holi would fill every home with happiness, prosperity and good health, and that the festival would further strengthen the bonds of friendship between the two countries, while inspiring continued cooperation for peace and progress.
He wished all those celebrating a joyful and safe Holi.
