The Hindu festival of love, color and spring is one of the most joyous celebrations of the year. It’s a time when people don simple, inexpensive clothes and take to the streets to drench each other in clouds of colored powder and buckets of water. There’s singing, dancing, and of course, food.
Each color tells a story, each look reflects an emotion.
Chaque couleur raconte une histoire, chaque regard reflète une émotion.

You, me or them
We always put on a mask, A mask to conceal our self
Beneath the skin, lays the true us.
All are same, fresh and red.

Bancarella di polveri colorate per la festa di Holi, la Festa dei colori.
La festa raggiunge il culmine l'8 di marzo, quando tutti si riversano per strada tirandosi addosso dei gavettoni di acqua colorata con queste polveri.
Confesso che sono rimasta vigliaccamente in albergo, guardando ciò che avveniva per strada dalla terrazza e aspettando che la festa finisse: ..... le Reflex non amano i gavettoni...
still so many more Holi shots, if you want to see them all I have put up an album over on my Facebook page ... www.facebook.com/photographybybytegirl

Varanasi costituisce il cuore dell’induismo e chi cerca completezza spirituale può trovarla lungo le sponde del grande Ganga Madre. Questo è il ritratto di un fedele indù giunto da lontano e che ha deciso di passare la notte accovacciato al riparo di una coperta sulle gratinate di uno dei ghat minori in attesa di immergersi per le abluzioni sacre.
The Hindu festival of Holi, also called the Festival of Colors, is celebrated with much enthusiasm in the month of Phalgun, which usually corresponds to the month of March. It marks the arrival of spring and the bright colors represent energy, life, and joy.
This exuberant festival is associated with the immortal love of Lord Krishna and Radha, and hence, Holi is spread over 16 days in Nandgaon-Barsana-Goverdhan-Vrindavan as well as Mathura - the cities with which Lord Krishna shared a deep affiliation. Apart from the usual fun with coloured powder and water, Holi is marked by vibrant processions which are accompanied by folk songs, dances and a general sense of abandoned vitality.
Barsana Holi : Barsana Holi Festival:
One of the major festivals of India, Holi is celebrated with enthusiasm and gaiety on the full moon day in the month of Phalgun which is the month of March as per the Gregorian calendar.
Entire city wears a festive look when it is time for Holi celebration. At Barsana, the 'Latthmaar holi' is famous. The men of Nandgao known as 'gops' raid Barsana and try to mark their victory over the temple of Radhika by furling flag over it while the women of Barsana try to fend them off with long bamboo sticks. The men are well padded because they cannot retaliate to the women and can only try to keep them off by sprinkling colored water on them. In case they get trapped, they are dressed as a lady in a sari and cosmetics are applied and they are made to dance like a lady. It is said that even Lord Krishna was made to dance like this by the 'gops' of Barsana.
Next day, the same scene is repeated in Nandgao as men of Barsana raid the village to win over temple of Shriji and women of Nandgao beat them with sticks to keep them off. Holi songs known as 'Hori' are sung by the men and women and are mostly based on the dialogues exchanged between Krishna and Radhika.
