Yesterday, Rachel and I had the amazing privilege of going to the Krishna Temple to participate in the Holi Festival of Colors or the festival of good vs. evil. It is a Hindu spring festival that embodies all the festivity, liveliness and exuberance of the season. Fortunately it was a springish day. The exuberance is expressed by people throwing powder/flour substance dyed in bright colors. Thousands of people come. It is quite a sight.
We had to park far away. Cars were lining the highway.
There is the Krishna Temple.
This is the burning of the effigy Hollika who was killed by
an evil God in her pursuits to do good.
Rachel Engulfed in Color!

Thank looks like fun, I have seen pictures before of people that have done that, but I never knew what it was from. I would like to hear more details, I will get them on Thursday if not sooner for the game
ReplyDeleteThat is certainly a festival of colors ... and of a bit of silliness by the observers it appears. Obviously you were "engulfed" in the colors. If one were standing a distance off would they see a multicolored cloud or clouds of color shooting in the air?
ReplyDeleteI have also seen other Provo kids engaged in the activity. Glad to see you colorful kids.
ReplyDeleteLet me just share one other thought - I'm glad yawl weren't driving back in MY car.
