Today begins one of my favorite holidays from home. Today is Holika Dahan. It is celebrating a killing in order to save a devotee of Krishna...it gets complicated and is not as vile as it sounds. We celebrate at night with a bonfire.
But tomorrow! Tomorrow is my favorite, and I hope I can be forgiven for my eagerness in celebrating...and that my dear lady love can provide bail if I am arrested.
Holi is a day of celebration of love, life, Spring's return. Joy in all its many colors. Literally. Tomorrow is celebrated by throwing colors around either in powder or liquid form. It is meant to be playful and flirtatious. So, I will be armed with ground up chalk and squirt guns loaded with watercolors (all things that will wash out). I will have enough to share if anyone wishes to join me!
