The festival of Holi, also known as the festival of colors, heralds the beginning of spring. It also signifies the victory of good over evil.

One of the biggest Hindu festivals, Holi is also often linked with the eternal love of Lord Krishna and his consort Radha.

It's also the time of the year when everyone -- well, almost -- put behind their differences and conflicts and put colors on each other's faces. Here are some pictures that capture those moments, taken by some of the top photographers in the nation using Apple's iPhone 7 Plus.
