THIS LITTLE VILLAGE WE CALL HOME

SITTING ON MY FAVORITE ROOFTOP IN PUSHKAR, BUBBA CAFE, OVERLOOKING THE MOUNTAINS WHILE WATCHING THE SUNSET OVER THE TEMPLES AND LAKE... AND THE BEST TOFU VEG DISH. EVER. PRIME REAL ESTATE FOR STREET PARADES AND FESTIVALS AS IT LOOKS DOWN ONTO THE MAIN MARKETPLACE.
INTO THE NIGHT A LARGE PROCESSION OF BEATING DRUMS, MEN AND CHILDREN DANCING HYSTERICALLY, WOMEN IN GLITTERING SARIS, A STREET FESTIVAL OF LIFE AND ENERGY! THIS IS THE START OF HOLI FESTIVAL, A SPRING RELIGIOUS FESTIVAL CELEBRATED BY HINDUS ANS SIKHS. A COLOUR FESTIVAL FOLLOWS WHERE PEOPLE THROW COLOURED POWDER AND WATER AT EACHOTHER. A ONCE IN A LIFETIME TREAT TO BE IN INDIA FOR THIS CELEBRATION!!
STAY TUNED FOR PICS!
