For weeks bright colored powders have been for sale in the markets for the celebration of Holi - a wonderfully fun holiday where everyone gets decorated/ smeared/ sprayed. Yesterday we saw a powder decoration on the street in Agra.
Today, as we entered Delhi, even the man taking the road toll was getting into the spirit of the festival.
It starts off rather slowly. Each person puts a little powder on your forehead and then you return the compliment. Here's Robert with Ranash and his wife and daughters with the first color. Then come more colors........and more people
and the color gets tousled into people's hair and the kids get out their squirt guns. Some people's faces turn entirely blue, or red or yellow...............
In fact all generations get in on the fun............
Apparently, in the late evening it gets very wild indeed.
