Festival of Colors













I'm not gonna lie, in Provo it's hard to find fun things to do sometimes, but then that makes it more fun because the things we do are quite random. So, in Spanish Fork they were holding a celebration at a Hindu Krishna Temple. The celebration was called the Festival of Colors. A group of my friends got together and went yesterday, and it was awesome. At this celebration, they had live bands playing songs for/about "Krishna," a giant smoke pit, and tons and tons of people that were throwing bags of colored chalk at each other. The throwing ceremonies were held every few hours, and when it was time for the ceremony, a countdown would begin, and at the end of the countdown till the throw, everyone would throw fistfulls of chalk in the air and you would be covered in chalk, as seen in my pictures. I didn't stay for an actual throw, but I got covered in plenty of chalk by lovely people that liked to decorate me as I walked by. It was really fun. It is definitely an event to attend, and yes, I will go again next year!
