Battersea Power Station was covered in clouds of rainbow colours during a weekend long festival.

The Holi Festival of Colours, which took place on Saturday and Sunday, saw revellers fill the sky with powder paint.

Your Local Guardian:

Holi is traditionally a Hindu Festival which celebrates the victory of good over bad and the beginning of spring.

Berliners Jasper Hellmann, Max Riedel and Maxim Derenko were inspired to set up their own version of the festival in Germany after visiting India.

The event was a huge success and the trio have began to tour the event internationally.

Alongside the powder throwing Kele Okereke, Bloc Party singer, performed a DJ set on Saturday, with Benga taking to the stage on Sunday.

 

Your Local Guardian: Alex McEwan, 25, of Finsbury Park, said: "I was having a great time.

"The atmosphere was amazing and the effect of the paint throwing in the settings of the power station was stunning."
