Holi Festival was traditionally celebrated with great fanfare at the BAPS Shri Swaminarayan Mandir, Neasden on Tuesday 14 March. The shrines in the Mandir were adorned in beautiful colourful attire and devotees streamed in to offer their devotion from dawn.
Adjacent to the grounds of The Swaminarayan School, the festival of Holi commenced with traditional Vedic prayers and ceremonies at 6.15pm. Devotees performed poojan of the sacred images of Thakorji and Lord Vishnu, which were placed adjacent to the large fire where sanctified coconuts were offered as prasadi to visitors.
