All that color!

I am still recuperating from the mad revelry and color onslaught of Holi - the fun festival that was celebrated in India this weekend. What a weekend it was! With Holi, Easter, Eid Milad and Navroze being celebrated all over the world!

Colored powder called Gulal used to play Holi. Yes, it is smeared on people's faces, hair and everywhere else!


Glimpses of Holi celebrations in old Indian paintings...
Lord Krishna and Radha are popular icons for Holi in Indian mythology
And, Holi spirit and colors captured very well by Steve McCurry
Hope you all had a great weekend too!
