oh holy HOLI celebration

we arrived in agra just in time for holi. this hindu festival takes place on a full moon night and marks the end of winter in india. in the days after, people have holiday and go around with exuberant colored powder and sprinkle and bless everyone in the streets. vendors close their shops and every town in india is one big color fest. it’s a pretty spectacular and wholesome holiday. we continue our personal holi celebrating on the 16 hr train ride into varanasi. this train station picture speaks volumes about our first train experience by the way.
