I just discovered Holi, the most awesome cultural holiday I have ever heard of, it makes me want to go to India someday just to experience it! Everyone takes to the streets splashing colored water and powders all over each other, celebrating the end of winter and the transistion into spring when nature starts to emerge and bloom, and show it's colors. People let go of social norms and limitations, the caste system is ignored during this time and everyone is treated as equals and with love, merriment and mischief....one of the common sayings is "Don't mind, it's Holi!" as an excuse to get away with being crazy, letting loose and not caring about offensive behavior.
"The festival of colors" ..wow this is right up my alley, I wanted to share these photos I've gathered showing this rainbow explosion of celebratory mayhem!!!
Holi!
