Holi, the festival of colours, was celebrated in Hyderabad with fervour on Wednesday. From Begum Bazaar to Begumpet, Appa Junction to Alwal people in the city smeared colour on each-other. The celebrations started in the morning and several residential areas sprang to life with colour, song and dance.

The Indira Park Walkers Association too organised celebrations. Politicos too joined in and former Haryana Governor Bandaru Dattatreya, BRS MLA Ch Malla Reddy and several other political personalities too participated in Holi celebrations.

"There is an inherent message in our festivals. Holi symbolises friendship and love. The festival strengthens unity in society. There are no differences of caste or discrimination in the festivals. All join together in celebration," said Dattatreya.
