Yeah, me too! I was actually just wishing nicky and I thought I'd pop into Mefi and see what was up. Well, wouldn't you know it--but she beat me to the punch. Sorry for the double. By the way, not_on_display actually posted the same link that I did two years back so I guess that would be the double, technically. I doubled the festival from nicky, and the link from not_on_display. Sorry.
Have any of you seen "An Idiot Abroad" with Karl Pilkington? During the Taj Mahal episode, he gets covered in all the colored powder and water for Holi. When they edited it together, you see him riding in a rickshaw and each time they cut away from him and cut back, he's more colorful. I loved it.
Huranga is a game played between men and women a day after the Holi festival during which men drench women with liquid colors and women tear off the clothes of the men.
You know what Miko, that was the thing that touched me the most too when I was looking at the photographs and reading their captions! Men pouring water on the women and women tearing the men’s clothes off. Perfect!
