holi festival of colors in the big city.

from the top to the bottom...

location: krishna temple in slc

we did a little booth browsing.

we walked around the temple grounds and saw a lot of these statues.

and we became targets as we entered the festival grounds because of our fresh white tees.  jenny was the first to get colored.

and from then on it was beautiful!

before the first color toss we walked around and were painted with beautiful colors by other festival goers.  the colors are non-toxic and do not harm the environment.  they are also scented.  they smelt lovely!

and then the first color toss came.  we wore masks so we could be in the middle of all the gorgeousness and still breath.

the aroma around us was amazing.

and before we left we had to partake in the indian food.  vege curry.  yum!

the last photo is of us right before we left.  all that was left white was our smiles!

we've decided we're making the trek to the real festival colors in spanish fork next year.

holi festival of colors...you are a new tradition.  welcome to the pack!
