Holi, the festival of colour, was celebrated at BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, popularly known as Neasden Temple, with fervour and gaiety on March 6.
Devotees and visitors arrived at the venue throughout the day and offered devotion to the deities that were adorned with vibrant colours to mark the occasion.
The ceremonial activities of the festival commenced in the grounds of the Swaminarayan School located opposite to the temple. There, the traditional bonfire was lit shortly after evening. The devotees placed newly harvested grains and coconuts in the bonfire as an offering made in thanksgiving to Agni, the deity of fire.
The celebrations also provided an opportunity to members of the local community to come together and enjoy hot snacks and refreshments.
