Happy Holi

The Hindu festival of Holi, aka the celebration of love, color, and spring, kicked off last week.
While the festival originated around the love story of Radha and Krishna, Holi today marks an occasion for all religions to celebrate love, light, and the welcoming of spring. It's not uncommon to see Hindus and Muslims open up their homes to each other for the festivities.
✨ And they were all yellow... A staple of Holi, which is a national holiday in India, involves people taking the streets to drench each other in colorful powders (seen above), sort of like a Color Run on steroids.
Singing, dancing, good food, community, and lots of colors? Sounds like a happy occasion to me 🌈.
