The Colors of Holi 2012

Submitted by Anonymous on Mon, 2012-03-12

Across India and the Hindu world, people are celebrating Holi.  Taking place on the last full moon of the lunar month, Holi is a festival commemorating Krishna's pranks and the arrival of spring.  Hindus celebrate the holiday by throwing colorful powders on their friends and acquaintances in large, public gatherings. 

I recently came across a photo essay inThe Atlantic that shows the brilliant colors and jubilant crowds celebrating Holi 2012.  Check it out!
