Holi is celebrated all over India with colour, music, dance and bonfires. It marks the beginning of summer. It also celebrates the end of cold and hardship, and the successful harvest of the winter crop.
Hindu's the world over take great pleasure in spraying their friends, family and I'm sure the occasional stranger with brightly coloured powder and paint. It makes for one of the most spectacular and colourful festivals in the world. What I love about Holi is that everyone seems to get involved... young and old, no family member is exempt from being "colour bombed"!
We opted for a 'finger paint fight' here in our own playground (with some actual finger painting thrown in).... check out our happy little Holi-kids!!
