Holi Festival at KrishnaTemple, Spanish Fork, Utah

To herald the advent of spring, and the new brighness around them, the Indian festival of Holi is Celebrated. This year in Spanish Fork, at the Krishna Temple, was held what is billed as the largest Holi Festifal in the United States. Rock Bands, Vegan meals, llamas looking on; the celebrants color themselves with Abeer and Guraj (Colored Chalks), laugh and dance. It was a fun day, I was occasionally dusted with color, which caused a good bit of scrubbing of the body and the auto upholstery to come clean. Also, the red chalk turned my white goods pink in the wash,but a second washing with bleach solved that problem.
