Happy Holi 2016
At Holi Hindus celebrate spring and certain events in Hindu mythology. It’s also known as the ‘Festival of Colours’ due to the practice of throwing and applying coloured water and powders on friends and family. This ritual is said to be based on the story of Krishna and Radha. Krishna would ask his mother why Radha was fair while he was dark, and she advised him to apply colour to Radha's face to see how her complexion changed. At Holi images of Krishna and Radha are carried through the streets.
