Today, I went to the Festival of Colors (Holi Fest) at the Hare Krishna Temple. Last year, I attempted to go, but so many people went that we were stuck in traffic and didn’t make it in time. I was really sad. This year, we got there over 3 hours before they actually started throwing the colors and so we were good.
Here is the temple.
People (and that doesn’t include me, no, not me whatsoever) got a little ansy and started throwing their colors or sprinkling them on people before we (oh, I mean they) were supposed to.
Here is a video of what it is like when they first throw the colors. I literally could not see anyone around me because of the amount of powder. It was a cloud all around me.
Here is a shorter video from the side view.
And here is what I look like afterward.
I’m the one on the left, if you couldn’t tell.
When I got home, I took a really long shower, used about a million Q-Tips, washed my hair 2 times, and I still feel dirty. It was really fun, but I think next year I’ll sit at the top of the temple balcony and take pictures, like these from Jarvie Digital.
I love this one!
