Stunning Images of Holi, The Festival of Colors
Holi (also known as the Festival of Colors) is an annual, Hindu spring festival. Participants in the festival throw colored water and powder on one another, and make for some incredibly rich images. Check out these amazing images of the event.
I first heard of this festival from Justin, as he was preparing for his trek to India a year ago. The way he described it, it sounded incredible – throngs of people, happy and celebrating, and colors of every hue all around you. I imagine it must feel like walking through a rainbow.
Also – in case you haven’t seen them, Justin’s got some great photos from India on Flickr.
