As the community of Verulam, north of Durban celebrated the “Festival of Colour”, photographer Rajesh Jantilal was there to capture the excitement.
For Hindus it is a festival that marks the triumph of good over evil and is a vibrant expression of cultural harmony.
While Holi is primarily a Hindu festival, it is a very inclusive one. One of its main themes is unity, and it is celebrated across the world by people of many backgrounds.
It brings people together and encourages them to set aside their inhibitions and feel united in one colourful community.
