The festival is celebrated with a day filled with brightly colored, organic powder, nonstop live music, dance, yoga, mantras and cuisine. A unified “color throwing” will take place every hour where brightly colored chalk will be thrown into the air in a tradition dating back thousands of years in India where flower petals and scented powders were thrown in gratitude of god, or Krishna.
Meant to be a celebration of shared life – neither religious nor secular – it is a gathering of people united in their desire to celebrate unity and friendship despite differences. The festival brings home the lesson of spiritual and social harmony.
