Sadhus in Kashi celebrated Holi in their Akhadas, applying colors to each other. This year, many Sadhus stayed after Mahashivaratri to participate in the festivities, marking a shift from previous years when fewer Sadhus remained. The streets and ghats of Varanasi were filled with color and joy as locals and tourists celebrated Holi. Unique scenes included youths dressed in black and others engaging in playful activities, showcasing the vibrant spirit of the festival. Despite the festive atmosphere, boat operations were suspended until 3 PM for safety reasons, limiting some celebrations on the river. Security was heightened across the city, with police also joining in the Holi festivities.
