The festival Holi that is celebrated in large public gatherings, where people throw or rub powdered paints at or on each other, will not be celebrated this year, has confirmed the Leicester Holi group.
The group has confirmed that the event will not go in public for the third consecutive year. Back in 2020, the event was cancelled due to the risks of spreading Coronavirus and in 2021, the event was celebrated online due to the ongoing lockdown restrictions.
This year too, the organisers are urging families to celebrate Holi online with their families using organic powdered paints.
The Leicester Holi group, which is made up of around 15 local organisations, shared the news on their social media accounts.
