It is probably one of the most exhilarating ones in existence. People hold bonfires, throw colored powder at each other, and celebrate wildly
What? And no self-portraits of you dressed in colored powder?
Nice shot of some beautifully bright colors.

HOLI COLORS !!!
Yesterday, in India we celebrate HOLI - A Festival of Colors
It celebrates the beginning of the new season, spring.
Originally, it was a festival that commemorated good harvests and the fertile land.
It is a time of enjoying spring's abundant colors and saying farewell to winter.
It is probably one of the most exhilarating ones in existence. People hold bonfires, throw colored powder at each other, and celebrate wildly
Nice photo and I hope your festival went well and was enjoyed by all..

Do you even have to ask ::what::
They are just plain crooks... They sit like vultures outside Nepal's most famous temples just to fleece tourists especially foreigners...
Below the bench they are sitting on, they have a complete make up kit to convert them to men of god

Very nice!
At first glance, it looks like the camera wasn't level.
You told me in a PM exchange we had recently (and in post #172) that you are not an expert.
Your photos are spectacular.

I guess every country has people like this. It is a shame that this type of behavior hurts the real men of god

Posted a B/W version of this image in the B&W section...
This was taken from the top of one of the mounds that you see here..
Very funny angle i had to perch on so i could frame this...
'Stupas' is a very rough translation cos the word Stupas has more of a Buddhist touch to it, whereas this was a Hindu temple..
It basically refers to the top mound of the construction.. You will see these in most ancient temples all over the planet...
(Sorry Marilynne, i did not realize i had named it without an explanation in the other thread )

I like it when you explain the customs and things about India. When I had a Indian staff I learned so much about your country. The funniest thing was how crazy the Indian people are about candy. OR at least the ones I talked to were.

I think India's use of color is so vivid that you would never want to hide it by using B&W. I would be shooting HDR all the time. Never hide your best asset.

Well, this temple is actually in Nepal... Though Nepal is a very small country to the North of India, the customs & traditions are very similar as you can expect.
Thanks dmc
i agree the colored version has a bit of a punch to it OR the B/W pic isn't all that great
