Christchurch’s annual Indian Holi Festival of Colours brightened up Hagley Park for the seventh time last weekend and brought almost 12,000 people together. Held to foster togetherness in India, event organisers Hitesh Sharma and Sandeep Khanna believe that Holi is more important for the city now than ever before, due to the events of March 15 in 2019. The event is organised completely by volunteers and all-profits are re-invested into future events, and charities in India and Christchurch.
