Photos of Holi, 2011

[Dale_M]

Holi is a joyous Hindu festival celebrated in the spring. It can last up to two weeks, and involves (among other things) throwing colored powder and water at one another.

Just for fun, here are some pictures, taken by news photographers, from this year’s festival.

My first thought is, “Who is going to do all that laundry and clean all those walls and floors?”

My second concern would be inhaling those powders - yuck.

Is colorful though.

The guy in the mud was just gross.

Looks like a real fun time, but messy. So many fun things in life are. I am thinking that I would love to sit down to a good mess of steamed crabs. I would end up looking like a lot of these Hindus after I went through a bushel or so.
