A huge crowd gathered in India's western Panaji city to dance to Bollywood songs and enjoy performances after two years of muted celebrations due to the coronavirus pandemic.
"This celebration of 2023 is special because due to coronavirus we could not celebrate (New Year) but this year we are just rocking and we are enjoying and celebrating," said Director, Majestic Pride Group of Hotels, Shrinivas Nayak.
People in India's western Mumbai city lit firecrackers to mark the special occasion.
