Victim of holi

By sawsengee  
Street capture of a passerby at the Indian holi festival (festival of colours) in Rishikesh. Any person wearing white was fair game and an invitation for colour splashes.
THANK YOU everyone for the UAs, votes and pleasant comments........very much appreciated. ee GrinGrinGrin

TIL (Today I Learned) that it is believed the Holi colours came from Krishna mischievously throwing coloured water over his milkmaids when he was a boy. This developed into the practical jokes and games of Holi, such as colour powder throwing... Everyone gets involved !

Yes Ian, the festival is a yearly event and in certain towns, the celebration gets more aggressive......it is a big problem for our
cameras and lenses with the floating colour dusts in the air that get into our lenses and camera sensors!! SmileSad
