Covered in coloured powder, or gulal, hundreds of people celebrated Holi at Lakshmi Narayan Mandir on Sunday in Surrey. Holi is a traditional Hindu festival that celebrates the beginning of spring as well as the triumph of good over evil. The coloured powder thrown during the festival comes from the legend of Krishna, whose skin was dark blue. Worried he wouldn’t be accepted by his love Radha, he coloured her face to make her like himself. (Photos: GORD GOBLE)
