Udaipur and Holi in pictures!

We spent a relaxing week in Udaipur with the amazing Holi celebration at the beginning of our stay

Arrival in Udaipur, the white city on the lake, so peaceful and beautiful

Everyone is preparing the Holi bonfires!

We are too! colours at the ready

Milk man… and the party is starting for Holika Dahan: Holi's eve, where pyres are lit, symbolising the victory of good over evil

Show and deafening party music in front of the temple

The next day: getting ready for Holi! (see Raphael's blog in French)

It's just the start!

Getting into the spirit!

We thought Holi was mostly about throwing colours but no! it's more about stroking both cheeks with colours and hugging, saying 'Happy Holi!' (see Eleonore's blog)

Two hours later!
