With chartbusters like 'Rang 'Barse' in the background and 'gulaal' in the air, Holi is being celebrated throughout the country with joy and fervour.

People stepped out of their homes to paint the streets in vibrant colours, and enjoyed special delicacies like 'gujiya'.

In fact, celebrations began the previous night with 'Holika Dahan' - a bonfire that symbolises the victory of good over evil. Devotees walked around a bonfire during a ritual called Holika Dahan.

In a video captured in Chhattisgarh's capital, Raipur, a group of men is seen enjoying the vibrant festival on the streets, dancing joyously alongside children.
