Holi, also known as the festival of colours is celebrated with great fanfare with people throwing coloured powder at each other as part of the festivities. This joyous festival is a ‘no bar’ day when everyone’s threshold is challenged or rather soaked in colour.
We choose some of our favourite images of the 2012 Holi festival.

Beautiful photos of the Holi festival! I’m sure it was an amazing holiday to celebrate and I hope I’ll get to catch it when I make my next trip to India.
