~FRIENDS~

Holi represents the arrival of spring and the triumph of good over evil. It is also said to be the enactment of a game the Hindu god Lord Krishna played with his consort Radha and the gopis, or milkmaids. The story represents the fun and flirtatiousness of the gods but also touches on deeper themes: of the passing of the seasons and the illusory nature of the material world.

Millions of Indians celebrated Monday the Hindu Holi festival all over india, dancing to festive music, exchanging food and drink and smearing each other with red, green, blue and pink powder, turning the air into a joyful kaleidoscope of color..From red to green to indigo, each color provides festival-goers with a sense of beauty, ritual and tradition.

If you land in India anytime in late February or March, it’s wise to check the dates of the annual Holi festival, and bring a spare set of clothes. That’s because for a few days in spring, people crowd the streets and splash brilliantly colored dyes on anyone walking by. “The colors never come out of your clothes,” he said. “And you might be having purple hair for many days. It is a complete liability.” It’s hard to avoid the fun—and paint—unless you stay inside or look menacing enough to discourage the custom.
