It's that day of the year when Indians all over the world celebrate the festival of colours, Holi. Holi is known as the festival of colours because people play with colours. In every corner of india friends and families get together to smear each other in colour and have a good time. India has plenty of festivals but Holi is special. It's what india is known for, COLOUR and CULTURE.
It can get a bit nasty with all those colours all over you and people attacking you with all sorts of colours. It's literally madness but a bit of it is good. But the colours do persist for a few days even after you've applied everything under the sun to remove it. Holi is celebrated all over the country and I must mention the amazing food. God I love it. The sweets are to die for and there's this drink called 'thandai'.
Gujiya, a stuffed sweet which is a holi classic.
Thandai, a popular drink during holi.

Here are a few pictures before I ended up looking like sort of a smurf with blue colours from head to toe.
Holi is not exactly the day for dressing up as all your clothes get spoilt anyways. So I was wearing a white kaftan with shorts but I wore these chandelier earrings and a silver cuff because I wanted to doll up a bit.
Earrings: Local store in Delhi
Kaftan: Flea market in Goa
Cuff: Amrapali
