A viral video from Auckland has captured New Zealand Prime Minister Christopher Luxon celebrating Holi with enthusiasm, as he joined a large ISKCON gathering, much to the delight of social media users. The video, filmed earlier in February, shows the Prime Minister joyfully spraying vibrant gulal (coloured powder) into the air on a countdown, embracing the festive spirit.
This cheerful moment comes ahead of Luxon’s first-ever visit to India as Prime Minister, scheduled from March 16 to March 20. His trip aims to bolster ties between New Zealand and India, focusing on key areas such as trade, investment, and cultural collaboration. One of the highlights of his visit includes a meeting with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on March 17, where discussions are expected to center around strengthening defence and trade relations.
Luxon’s visit also includes a meeting with President Droupadi Murmu and engagements with influential political and business leaders in India. The Prime Minister’s celebration of Holi alongside the ISKCON community demonstrates the growing cultural exchange between the two nations.
The viral video has not only brought attention to Luxon’s upcoming diplomatic mission but also showcased the warmth and vibrancy of cultural celebrations in both New Zealand and India.
