Color, color everywhere.
The Holi Festival took place today and, as promised, it was a rambunctious display of drumming, dancing and color powder smearing. We’re taking the train north today from Kolkata, so we’re missing most of it, but what we did see (and be apart of) was a whole bunch of fun.
What we didn’t expect was the city’s closure, though. The shops have closed up, the restaurants are locked and the city is jointly ushering in spring. I guess when you’ve got this going on in front of your business – it’s safest to keep the door locked.
Check out the photo gallery & video of the colorful festival below…
