My fascination with culture has made me see the beauty that lies in difference, bridging my own culture and mind with that of others. I came across these photographs that were taken in India during the Festival of Color!

The Festival of Color which is called Holi, is a popular Hindu spring festival that takes place in India, Nepal, Srilanka  and countries with large Hindu diaspora populations, such as Suriname, Guyana, South Africa, Trinidad, UK, USA, Mauritius, and Fiji. In West Bengal of India andBangladesh it is known as Dolyatra (Doul Jatra) or Basanta-Utsav (”spring festival”). The most celebrated Holi is that of the Braj region, in locations connected to the god Krishna: Mathura, Vrindavan, Nandagaon, and Barsana. These places have become tourist destinations during the festive season of Holi, which lasts here to up to sixteen days. (Source: Wikipedia)
