The Indian community and supporters living in Brazil celebrate the festival of colors in Sao Paulo, Brazil on March 24, 2024. A Burst of Colors and Tradition Holi, characterized by vivid hues, gulaal, and rituals, transcends mere festivity; it's a grand jubilation of joy and camaraderie. Legend has it that the festival commemorates the triumph of Lord Narasimha over the demon Hiranyakashyap, representing the victory of righteousness over malevolence.
