Every year there is a color festival held at the Hindu temple Sri Sri Radha Krishna. Its not a super religious thing. There is live bands, food... and the color. You can get bags of colored chalk and you pretty much throw it on every one and every thing. Once an hour where the stage is a count down happens and every one throws color up in the air at once and its just fun all togeather.
Just wanted to show you guys a few picts and let you know the chalk tastes horrible and when it gets in your eyes...

    I know what is is and why they do it but out here it has turned more into just music and fun. Im saying its not religious in the from of prayrs or stuff like that. They still burn the witch and everything like that and it still has the "forgive and forget" message.
