This week
The Hindu world will be awash with colour on Monday for the festival of Holi. Brightly coloured powder and water are thrown by revellers to commemorate the escape from a fire by Prahlad, a devotee of Vishnu. Meanwhile, "France by the Sea" is a new photography exhibition opening at the National Geographic Store in London on Monday. The pictures depict life in 25 French coastal resorts, and the show runs until 7 March ( uk.franceguide.com ).
