Phagwa celebrations took place at several venues over the weekend and participants joyfully doused one another in abeer in commemoration of the spring festival.
The observance of Phagwa was introduced to T&T by indentured East Indian labourers around 1845. These images were captured at the Aranguez Savannah and at Felicity, Chaguanas on Sunday.
