Yesterday, the Aranguez Savannah in Trinidad and Tobago was filled with colour and excitement as hundreds gathered to celebrate Phagwa. Families and cultural groups participated in the festival, hosted by the National Phagwa Council, using abeer and gulaal to transform the grounds into a vibrant display of colour. The festival, prominent in the Hindu community, also featured cultural entertainment like chowtaal singing and dancing, with vendors offering local treats. Participants, including Sundar Jookoo, councillor with the Chaguanas Borough Corporation, hailed the event as a safe and reflective celebration of unity among different ethnic and religious groups. The festival, introduced to Trinidad and Tobago in 1845 by labourers from Bihar, India, symbolises the triumph of good over evil and the arrival of spring.
