Holi (Hindi: होली, Nepali: होली,Punjabi: ਹੋਲੀ Sindhi: هولي) is a religious spring festival celebrated by Hindus as a festival of colours. (Wikipedia)
I had a luck to be in Hyderabad during the Holi 2013 celebration. Together with my colleagues we got invited by a local family to celebrate Holi at their house.
At first we were a little bit shy
But then we took example of kids playing with us
…and so the crazy fun began
getting dirty
Colorful ammunition
Our hosts – Swathi and her husband. Once again big thank you for the invitation.
After the fun on Swathi`s roof we washed up, had a quick lunch and went to the city to see how other people celebrate Holi.
Unfortunately we got too late for the Tomatina festival – last people were leaving
Groups of local people celebrating on Hyderabad streets
Very friendly people
Coming back home after a wild party
It was an amazing experience that I will never forget. I hope to see Holi next year 🙂
