This is what the Guardian says of Holi in its introduction to a picture gallery.
It's a ritual of colour enacted for centuries. Men from Nandgaon, Hindu god Krishna's hometown, march on Barsana in Mathura, the birth place of Krishna's beloved Radha, to put colour on women who wait prepared for them with sticks '" mini battles break out amid explosions of colour. It's Holi in India.
