Holi

Holi is celebration of Spring in North India (places that many Hindu live)

I celebrated Holi in Jaipur

It is taken on full moon of Spring, 

this year was 17 and 18th of March

Holi morning 

Holi color seller

I visited India and wondered what those people sell usually,
when it is not Holi









 Day before Holi
17th March 2014







Elephant color
Elephants were also dressed up with color in Holi
I helped coloring four elephants
Skin of elephant was hard and it was difficult until I got used to it
 I enjoyed a lot

One man drew a draft with white color
and other people followed him

It was difficult to color ears and nose
since elephant moved the parts a lot

Drinking water after dressed up 

Elephants got ready for Holi
They were fed sugar cane

This is a Krishna temple

Many people got together, dance, sing and pray 

People say happy Holi and put color on my face
Also they threw color power and splash color water  in the air 

Dancing 

With the color powder, air in the temple got dusty 

In the evening, towers of cow dung, kites and plants were made in front of each temple
I heard the story behind but I don't remember as much as can write here

Burned

Happy Holi!!!

News reporter

Children were making color water balloons

Competition 












Holi was great fun but I got really tired at the end
I was snatched lots of colors again and again
color was everywhere on the body
It was a great experience
