This past Saturday I got to go to a little (actually, pretty huge) spring celebration at the Hindu temple in the middle of nowhere near Spanish Fork. Me, Sydney and our friends Michael and Jake all put on our old clothes and made the trek twenty minutes south. The event is called Holi, or the Festival of Colors. The celebration ritual basically involves everyone throwing colored powder at each other. Something to do with ancient Hindu cleansing traditions. It was good times! There was live music, yummy-smelling Indian food, tons of people, and lots of mud. We had a blast trying to get all different colors on ourselves, and we ended up getting nice and colorfully dirty. I look forward to doing the same thing next year!

That's SO cool! We celebrated Holi at the private school where I work, too, with everyone wearing bright colors, indian dancing, waving scarves of diffferent colors, and there were colorful banners strung up, too. It was awesome! There were also a group of kids who showed how fun throwing the powder can be! It looked like something I'd love to try so I'm glad to see you got to!
That sounds like so much fun! When I was at the Y some friends and I went to a llama festival at a Hari Krishna temple that was a lot of fun but we didn't get to pelt eachother with colored powder. Looks like you guys had a great time :)
Looks fun Rach.
What great fun. Can you wear the same clothes next year?
I would say the best fun was going out with good looking dudes, in spite of the camouflage. Oh, to be young again!!
