Sharing is Caring..Let the world know about this story
Growing up in the southern confines of Chennai, I was walled from how the rest of India celebrated a festival called Holi. The Chennai I knew started in Thiruvanmiyur and ended in Mylapore, with my catchment area being Adayar and Besant Nagar. Since growing over 30, I have had the opportunity to attend the Holi function outside Chennai, to witness what a fun festival it is. I thought I shall document some of my shots of how India plays Holi. If you have an opinion on Holi as a function, do head to the comments box, and lets get a conversation going. Tell me places that I can go to cover holi!
Love the way the girl is surrounded in a pool of Holi Colours and is not done yet!
I quite love the way different colours come into the frame. Pretty much like how different people co-exist in a single space!
Like the energy in the frame, with all that Holi Powder visible as particles.
The mad scramble for Holi Powder on the Cart
Like the way the guy is emptying all his holi powder, before he heads home!View from the change rooms! Holi party never stops!
The Blue clouds of powder look surreal. Or is it just Surf Washing Powder 🙂 ?
Lord Krishna is on Earth. Coming soon to a Holi Party near you!
When the blues get over, Pink Power takes over!
When Pink Power needs a makeover!
From the blue Zone to the Pink Zone!
The kids shaking a leg to some music and targeting innocent bystanders!Kids enjoying at the holi celebrations!
Kids are Killing it! My son playing Holi, and loving being dirty in green!
Me with my son at the Holi Celebration!

These pictures capture so much emotion! This looks like so much fun, similar to a Carnaval we have in Colombia, except we do black and white. I like the colors a lot more! How’d you keep your camera clean?! Lol
Thanks Ana! Can you help me know more about this Columbia Carnaval? I’d love to know more on how is it Black and White. I had to clean the camera every hour with dry and wet cloth and also give it for service center cleaning the very next day. It is a risk
Great pictures – that looks like so much fun! This is something that is really gaining popularity world wide, but I’d love to visit India to take part in it just once! Thanks for sharing.
You have snapped some amazing pictures! Great job! I come from Greece and we have something similar, it is called Color Day Festival! And they bring DJs and everyone is dancing 🙂 I think we might have stolen it from you! Hehe! xx
One of the best festival, water is also included along with dry colors and as much I have traveled across India, every place has something unique about how they play holi. Well clicked pics, keep it up 🙂
This always looks like a lot of fun. I don’t know too much about the history behind this festival but it sure does look awesome. I’m sure you had loads of fun all the times you have gone.
Lovely Photography. Loved each of those frames.
Thank you Anuradha! That made my brunch 🙂
Beautiful pics katch 🙂
Thank You Karishma!

Holi always fun festival and more fun for photographer like me.
Holi is great for photographers, ain’t it?
Went to the same festival but in Romania, loved the energy of the people!
Oh nice! Did not know that this happens in Greece and Romania too!
