The Holi celebrations in Nandgaon, India climax occurs in the temple, where people celebrating the event flock in, looking relatively clean. By the end, everyone has been exposed to the brightly coloured gulal powder and the predominantly red dye in the water (yellow is used as well).
While it might not look like it, it is the same temple (and same part of the temple) where I posted some traditional dance images from. Dance
1. Men with their barrels of coloured water get ready to douse people from the roof of the temple.
2. The two levels of the temple fill up. The top level is relatively busy, but not as messy as the ground level.
3. Gulal of all different colours is thrown in the air.
4. Some people head up the the higher areas of the temple to take a break. A selfie is always a good way to remember the festivities.
5. The festivities honour the Hindu god Krishna and his consort the goddess Radna. In the minds of the celebrants, all women are a "Radna" and get special treatment.
6. The finale - the men get together. There are just a few photographers around.
7. As the festivities break up, spontaneous dances break out on the way to the temple exits.
