"The colorful festival of Holi is celebrated on Phalgun Purnima which comes in February end or early March. Holi festival has an ancient origin and celebrates the triumph of 'good' over 'bad'. The colorful festival bridges the social gap and renew sweet relationships. On this day, people hug and wish each other 'Happy Holi'."
They celebrate this festival at the Hindu Temple in Spanish Fork. I went last year too. Its a pretty big deal here, there are hundreds of people that go. Mostly students. Its SOOOOOOO fun. If you ever have a chance to go. DO IT. It is a fun cultural event. And who doesnt like being messy? Duh!

You are a spazz! No wonder you had colored snot when you got home. Glad you had fun celebrating good over evil. I wonder what the Hindu people think of all the crazy BYU students. :)
most of the hindu people here are former mormons. theres a mutual respect between the religions :)
That is crazy messy but looks cool.
It's really nice to see that you can really let go & have fun... for some reason I just can't picture my boys being so uninhibited (it wouldn't be cool) too bad cuz it looks like you were having a great time!
yeah im not so much the timid type. i love being crazy and carefree, its a big part of my personality. its way more fun that way!
We've always wanted to go to a festival at the Krishna Temple. Our friend jsut told us that they do a pot luck every Sunday. Maybe we'll go for that...
