Hindus are throwing colored powder and spraying water in massive celebrations of the festival of Holi in India. But the enthusiasm is subdued compared to previous years because of fears of the new coronavirus.
Indians dance and throw colored powder during Holi festival celebrations in Gauhati, India, Tuesday, March 10, 2020. The festival heralds the arrival of spring.
Brightly colored powder filled the air in most parts of North India. But in the capital, New Delhi, many events were canceled as the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the country rose to 47. Most years, millions of people from toddlers to the elderly throw powder at each other and play with water balloons and squirt guns.
“Yes, it’s coronavirus that made us cancel our programs,” said Anshuman Ghulati, festival director of Holi Moo, one of the biggest Holi events in New Delhi which last year drew some 7,000 people from around the world.Other groups in New Delhi also canceled their plans.
