Indian Paint Festival

Holi was originally a spring festival of fertility and harvest. Now it also marks some Hindu legends, which provide some of the ingredients for the celebrations.

I was particulary inspired by this festival for the inspiring photography. 

 Bursts of colour
Youthful and excitement. 

Celebration of life.

Explosion of colour.
Vibrant

 "New life and energy of the season."
"Holi is the most energetic Indian festival, filled with fun and good humour; even the strict rules of separation between castes are abandoned."

 "People throw powder paint (called "gulal") at each other (yes, even at complete strangers) and no-one seems to mind. The air is often bright with clouds of coloured powder."
