Festival of Colors

The Festival of Colors! Wow what an experience! This is an Indian tradition to bring in spring. There is a beautiful indian temple in Spanish Fork and every year they celebrate this tradition. The colors are basically cornstarch dyed different colors. There is a concert and a ton of people as you can see. You throw your colors at each other and into the air. It was really fun. The only scary part was when after a count down when everyone threw their colors up and I couldn't breath! I couldn't hear anything and I got kind of disoriented. Really weird, but the rest was fun. It was really fun to be totally colored and I am glad I went. Surprisingly everything came off pretty easily so not too much of a hassle although I still have a pink armpit that will just not get clean!

I couldn't believe how many people were there. They said there were 20,000 last year. The crowd was incredible.

You can see the haze, this was a couple minutes after the big throw.
