It signifies the arrival of spring and victory of good over evil.

Philosophically, it is also called a festive of forget and forgive and of repairing broken relationships.

Finance Minister Asad Umar

Actor Fahad Mustafa

The Hindu community on Monday announced to celebrate Holi festival in a simple manner due to Friday's attack at Mosques in New Zealand, resulting in death of at least 50.

"The decision has been taken to show solidarity with the bereaved families of the Christchurch attack", President Hindu Pancait said.

The community has also suspended a yearly celebrated Holi festival at the Sindh Assembly building.
