Holi is the Indian "festival of colors." One person told me that is a celebration of moving from winter to summer, someone else told me that it is in honor of one of the gods and another told me that it is because colors are good for health. So, we're not really sure where it all originated but the tradition is to meet up with all your friends and play colors!! Colors are very fine chalk-like powder in every bright color you can imagine. There are two kinds, the washable and the permanent.
We went to our friend Sheetal's house to play with her family and friends. At first we were a little shy but before you know it we were in an all out color war. It was one of my favorite memories from India and I am so glad Billy was here!!
Here are a few pictures, note the colors on our faces after scrubbing for a LONG time...
