On Saturday, March 28th, I went with Donna, Torey, Stephanie, Nick, Emily and Andrea to the Festival of Colors at the Krishna Temple. It was the first time any of us went. Now we know what to expect and how to prepare for next year.
"This festival represents the passing of winter into spring. Traditionally, colored powder or water is thrown to signify the joy and colors of spring arriving." You can find out more information about the festival here.
It was amazing to see all the color go up into the air. Some of the color was scented and made me feel like spring had truly arrived. Of course, it snowed the next day to fool everyone. Anyhow, it was fun to take part in the tradition and learn about a different culture.
Here we are together with our few specs of color. Donna was favored by several people and she ended up being speckled in purple. Pretty!
