Several families from the Sindhi community celebrated Holi with traditional gaiety at Sindhi Bhavan in the city on Thursday. Streets took rainbow hues as people played with colours to mark the festival of colours.

Ayesha Agarwal, a Sindhi resident of city said, “Holi stands for friendship, coming togetherness. It provides an opportunity for enemies to bury the hatchet. Sour feeling is written off. New friendship is sealed. Boys and girls, young and old celebrate Holi without any inhibition.”

“Besides, Holi is celebrated at a time of the year when the fields are in full bloom and people are expecting a good harvest.
