Morie, Maya, and I after our first society color play

Pankti and Morie when the first Happy holi celebrations are going on. To wish someone happy holi you take a big handful of power and rub it roughly allover someones face while yelling "Happy Holi!!!" Then you throw or rub in the remaining powder on their clothes or hair.

Throwing water on people is quite common and very fun.

Most of the little kids have squirt guns and stay pretty color free as they run around shooting people. Maya's host mother was squirting us in her kitchen for a while, but then we reminded her that it was in the house.
