15th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
The colorful men of Nandgaon

Holi is the Indian festival of colours, marking the start of Spring. It is also a crazy time with revellers throwing coloured gulal powder and spraying smelly coloured water on as many people as they can. I took this shot of these 3 men who were having a break in a slightly less manic corner of the temple grounds.
