Nepal gets colourful as people celebrate Holi
Holi, the festival of colours, was celebrated in various parts of the nation including the Kathmandu Valley and hilly regions on Sunday. Revellers, young and old alike, celebrated the festival, also known as Phagu Poornima, by smearing colours on each other's face and throwing water-filled balloons. The festival will be celebrated in the Tarai region on Monday. Here are some photographs:
