Day 26: Happy Holi!

The pictures tell it all. Holi, the festival of colors, celebrates the arrival of spring and the triumph of good over evil. Like families around India, we spent the morning playing Holi in an explosion of colored powder and water guns. The festivities started with the family at our home stay and spread to an international party hosted by the Rajasthan tourism department.
