Festival of the colors

It seems that I am a little behind on posting pictures that I have been taking. This past weekend was the Festival of Colors at the Krishna Temple in Spanish Fork, Utah.

Krishna is a religion in Indian that dates back to the first century. As a farewell to Winter and welcoming of Spring.

The event started at 4:00 with some story telling and skits. They served some wonderful Indian food which added to the experience of being there.

This year the event drew more than 5,000 people. I had a real good time and I am glad that I was able to be there with friends.

Seeing this man with his phone in his hand most likely making a video made me wonder what he thinks of the festival and whether or not this is how it is performed and carried out in his country.
