Yesterday, Indians gathered to celebrate a religious festival called Holi, despite the country facing a recurrence of 19 communicable diseases.
Holi is known as the festival of colors, in which everyone plays with paint and sauce to mark the arrival of spring. Despite calls not to rally, many people in northern Uttar Pradesh still celebrate in the same temple.
According to one man, he usually adheres to the ritual, but he is also very concerned about the increase in infections.
However, India ranks third in the world in terms of new strains of the virus, with more than 68,000 new cases reported yesterday.
The rise in other cases is feared as antimicrobial and preventive measures are not strictly enforced at many festival venues across the country.
