Colorful Holi

May 18, 2014 by TravelBudgie Leave a Comment

During the full moon of March of every year, people in India and South Asia celebrate Holi, the Hindu Festival of Color.

Also known as the Festival of Love, Holi is the celebration of the triumph of good over bad. From Wikipedia:

Holi celebrations start with a Holika bonfire on the night before Holi where people gather, sing and dance. The next morning is a free-for-all carnival of colours, where participants play, chase and colour each other with dry powder and coloured water, with some carrying water guns and coloured water-filled balloons for their water fight. Anyone and everyone is fair game, friend or stranger, rich or poor, man or woman, children and elders.

Holi has just been added to my list of things to experience in life.
