The festival of colours, Holi, brought Odisha to life as millions of people across the state hurled vibrant powders, danced in the streets, and indulged in festive delicacies. From cities to villages, the air was filled with excitement, laughter, and the spirit of togetherness.
Major cities like Bhubaneswar, Cuttack, Puri, and Sambalpur witnessed grand celebrations, with people smearing gulal (colored powder) on each other, drenching in water splashes, and grooving to traditional and modern beats. Several communities organized cultural programs, music concerts, and Holi processions, adding to the festive cheer.
No Holi celebration in Odisha is complete without its signature festive treats. Families and friends relished pithas (traditional cakes), sweets like rasagola and chhena poda, and refreshing thandai, making the festival even more special.
