Pictures : Celebrating the colourful festival of Holi

March 25, 2013 Stories

Dear friends,

Happy Holi!

This year, I’ll share few more pictures from Braj Holi, the most colourful version of Holi, that is celebrated in a group of small villages around Vrindavan, Uttar Pradesh. For those who have no idea about this festival can read everything about it in the story I did for Hindustan Times.

Hope you like them.

Cheers!
