Holi ... Oh
what a colourful festivel!!!!!!!!
People in
India and other countries with large Hindu populations celebrated Holi, the
Festival of Colors. A welcoming of Spring, Holi is celebrated as the triumph of
good over evil. Hindu devotees and others enthusiastically drop their
inhibitions, and chase each other in temples and through the streets, playfully
splashing colorful paint, powder and water on each other. People also attend
bonfires to commemorate the story of Prahlada, a Hindu figure and devout
follower of Lord Vishnu who prevailed over his father and the demoness Holika
with the power of his devotion. Collected here are a handful of images from this
year's Festival of Colors.
