Holi - Festival Of Colors

If you live in a large, multi-ethnic city virtually anywhere in the world it is a possibility that in the next few weeks you will see groups of people in parks merrily spattering each other with paint. While you might be excused for thinking that it is a new form of corporate team building - and what a great one that would be - you would be wrong.

The throwing of multi-colored water and powder is in fact the Festival of Colors, also known as Holi.
