While much of India celebrated Holi with vibrant colours and playful splashes of water, the residents of Vida village in Beed district of Maharashtra upheld a 90-year-old tradition- a ceremonial donkey ride for a son-in-law.

This unique custom begins days before the festival with what locals fondly call a "manhunt" for a son-in-law. This year, the "honour" fell to Shivaji Galphade, originally from Dongaon in Kaij tehsil, who settled in Vida after his marriage.
