Holi is a spring festival, also known as the festival of colours or the festival of love. It is an ancient Hindu religious festival which has become popular with non-Hindus in many parts of South Asia, as well as people of other communities outside Asia. In Braj region of India, where Krishna grew up, the festival is celebrated for 16 days in commemoration of the divine love of Radha for Krishna, a Hindu deity. The festivities officially usher in spring, with Holi celebrated as a festival of love.In this workshop we will learn about this Indian tradition and then have our own color festival! We will use the same type of powdered color as is used in the Color Runs. Be prepared to get colored, and have fun!
Wear a white t-shirt and shorts you don't mind getting color on. Most of the color will wash out.
