India has commemorated the annual Holi Festival of Colours, which is believed to celebrate good over evil.


The festival that originated in Nepal and India is now celebrated worldwide. 


Meanwhile, Prince Harry of Britain has extended his visit in Nepal to help rebuild a village school destroyed in last year's 7.8-magnitude earthquake. 


Coinciding with Holi, the Prince has joined in celebrations, covering fellow revellers with red powder. 


Google has also commemorated this year's festival with its infamous Google Doodle.
