The city of Kalaburagi was immersed in vibrant hues as residents celebrated the festival of colors, Holi, with enthusiasm and joy on Monday. Youth clad in colorful attire gathered in various neighborhoods, bustling junctions, and marketplaces to partake in the festive revelries.

All commercial activities, including the bustling vegetable markets, were temporarily shuttered to allow residents to fully engage in the merriment of the occasion. The streets and alleys of Kalaburagi transformed into a canvas of colors as celebrants joyously smeared each other with gulal and water-based dyes.
