colours of holi

Holi is a Hindu festival that marks the coming of spring. It has its origins in a story of the foibles of certain gods and that story includes lashings of jealousy, revenge and attempts at murder - all sorts of good stuff. Somehow this has been translated into the 'playing' of holi where you spend a day dousing each other with water and wet or dry dyes. Heaps of fun. A camera and cries of "look out, don't damage the camera" comes in handy when trying to avoid getting messy. In this shot some friends in Khara show the consequences of playing Holi.
