Hundreds of people danced and threw colour as they celebrated Holi at events across Maidenhead at the weekend. The group, also known as Aumkaar Parivar Shakha, a branch of the Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh UK (HSS UK), welcomed more than 200 people to the celebrations. Despite the cloudy weather people’s ‘joy, enthusiasm and festive spirit filled the air’, said Mahendra Mistry, secretary of the HSS Maidenhead branch. Mahendra added: “More than a celebration, the Holi event served as a platform for building connections and strengthening bonds among individuals of diverse backgrounds. “It reflected the spirit of inclusivity and harmony at the core of HSS UK’s mission.”
