these are pictures of celebrations that are a part of the hindu festival of colours, Holi. the festival is a celebration marking the start of spring. on the main day of this festival, people celebrate by throwing coloured powder at each other. the photos from this event in particular are beautiful. huge groups of people are covered with bright, saturated colours. being a part of this celebration would be amazing, seeing this in person would be an incredible experience.
This festival sure seems fun. The amount of colour that is splattered over everyone is both vibrant and original. There's no structure of the colour, just explosions of contrast. It's cool :O
ReplyDeleteThis festival is fun! I was born and raised Hindu. In guyana people run down the streets with buckets of coloured water and powder and go completely nuts on their friends and family! Its a lot like a game... if someone gets you, you do everything and anything in your power to get them back! My family and some friends that aren't even Hindu play!
ReplyDeleteI was going to post about Holi as well... :P i'll find something else lol
People should have celebrations like this here. That would be so much fun!
