Magnificent Colors of Holi!

Zoom TV Holi Party









India just celebrated the festival of Holi with the Full Moon this week on 10th March. It is the wildest most colorful festival. The whole thing is based on having FUN! Beginning early in the morning, people throw colored herbal powders on each other, then the water comes out! At 9:30 am in my apartment complex, the Bollywood dance tunes began BLARING out of 8 almost 3 foot speakers set up in the parking lot below my window! When I looked down, men had fire hoses, children had colors, and the giant color spectacle began! Shortly, my new daughter-in-law, Nisha Harale Bedi, her sister, Nikki Harale, and I were at the exclusive invitation only Holi party sponsored by ZOOM TV of Mumbai!

The day, full of colors, heat, drenching water, more colors, heat, water, dancing, food! Here are some of the photos!
Namaste,
