Holi



A land of harsh juxtapositions, impossible beauty and rich spirituality, India has been a destination I have longed to experience. Like so many people I have been captivated by the colour and chaos of this vibrant country.

I stumbled across some photos via Getty Images of The Holi Festivial, an ancient Indian celebration that erupts in a cloud of colour across India every year. The young and old playfully spray each other in vivid coloured flours known as Abeer and Gulal, happily celebrating of the arrival of Spring. 

I thought I would share these photographs as they genuinely warmed my heart to see that such a simple thing can bring so much joy to so many.
