Holi is a festival of color celebrated throughout India, although more predominantly in the North I believe. The tradition primarily involves throwing highly colored powered on everyone you come across. Originally, Holi started as a Hindu festival, but now it is celebrated by those of all faiths and is a great experience for everyone. This shot was taken the night before the main event. The night before is more of a family tradition where prayers are made and fires are lit to symbolize the destruction of the demon Holika.
