In India (and other countries with large Hindu populations) there is a festival celebrated each spring called Holi, or the Festival of Colors (it also goes by other names in some non-Indian countries). The festival can last up to sixteen days, and involves a number of different activities. The most famous of which occurs on the main day of the festival, when large groups of people throw colored powder and water at each other.
Now I don't know anything about the history behind the tradition, but I do know that it makes for some fantastic pics. The festival participants during and after the powder/water fights seriously look like a Fauvist painting come to like. If nothing else, it looks just plain cool. See for yourself:
