Tomorrow is Holi in India. It’s also known as the festival of colours – a festival that says goodbye to winter and welcomes the all the colours and vibrancy of spring. Last year we were in India for it and I’ve been loving spending time going through the photos to try and get a little post ready for this years Holi.
Here’s just a few of the fun we had – the kids got really into the spirit of it and didn’t mind people throwing colour at them and LOVED throwing colour at themselves!! Keep scrolling down for a video and some links to more photos from out and about on the streets.
We stayed in Jaipur, which is one of my favourite parts of India and these were from the day before – out on the street buying Holi colours. We started off the day of Holi in nice clean clothing (our lovely friend Courtney from Courtneycourtney made the dresses for the girls to get trashed) white is great for showing off all those crazy colours!!!I think it’s safe to say my kids loved it!!! Here’s a short video of more photos and some video clips of the fun (my first attempt at doing this!!!)
