Holi – The Allure of Colours

the allure of colours
People of Goa, irrespective of their age and even religion, step outdoors and mingle with others to celebrate Holi. They playfully apply colourful powders on the faces of their friends and loved ones. People sway to popular music and dance with abandon. Most of the teenagers are busy drenching one another with water and dancing to the tune of popular Hindi and English songs.
Children use water balloons and 'pichkaris' (water guns) to target other kids and douse them wet. Some also play with dry washable colours and dyes. Holi celebrations in Goa starts in the morning and slowly recede late in the afternoon when people are tired after enjoying all day.
