The festival of Holi is a very colorful time in India. I tried hard not to get my camera plastered with paint. Sometimes, as a foreigner, we would get extra attention. This girl really caught my eye. Taken in Vrindavan, 2024.

Is it actually paint or vegetable colored dyes?
Hope the paint came off without the skin also!

Thanks, Dan. I think they use both. The hotels freak out when guests come back to their rooms with paint dripping off their clothes. Even the monkeys get in on the action. I saw a few with painted bums when they sat down on paint puddles by the side of the road. It is a pretty wild time!
I remember Holi as lots of fun. People let loose with the cannabis-laden sweets and teas helping out, but I don't remember any over-the-top behavior by anybody, except with the colors. Lots of good memories!

Chris, I think it depends on who you meet. Sometimes, the teens get rowdy. It is their chance to let off steam for a day.
