Hare Krishna!

We went to the festival of Colors (Annual Holi Festival) at the Sri Sri Radha Temple in Spanish Fork today. (Click here to view a video from last year. Hare Krishna, Rama Hare!)
The festival is to welcome in the spring. As soon as the effigy representing winter is lit on fire, we start to throw colors. (It's colored powder.) When we are covered in colors it symbolizes "one people", no difference in race or background. For a small time we are one people welcoming in the spring. Hare Krishna!

WE WENT . . .


WE CHANTED . . .

WE WATCHED . . .

WE LIT ON FIRE . . . (well, we didn't lite on fire . . .a fire was lit.)


WE GOT COLORED! HARE KRISHNA!
