Holi Celebration India

While I was in India I was lucky enough to be there during the Holi Festival. I really enjoyed spending the day having fun with the locals. It's really just a big party, everyone runs through the streets putting a powdered color on each other, within 10 minutes your every color of the rainbow. If you are going to India plan on being there in March for Holi, you will not be disappointed.

Below is a brief description I got from a website.

Holi celebration takes place with lots of joy and verve throughout the India. The enthusiasm of the people reaches its peak and matches with the nature which is in full bounty at the time of Holi.

Holi is being celebrated in Indian since time immemorial but the popularity of Holi celebrations seems to be rising with every passing year and so is the level of hoo-ha. As no other festival gives so much liberty to the people to let their hair loose and enjoy their hidden crazy self.

Differences of any sort are drowned in the colored waters and powders of Holi and people just enjoy being a play animal. Then there is total wildness as people dance to the rhythm of dholak and sing traditional folk songs in loudest possible pitch.
