Happy Holi

Except for Diwali, Holi is probably the most important of the Hindu festivals. Traditionally the celebration includes that you bless each other (usually within the family) through putting some coloured powder or water in the forehead. In the gangs of kids in the cities this may turn into putting the coloured water into a fire extinguisher and spray anyone you meet.

In the afternoon most people has changed clothes and removed the colour - but not all.
