This week, Hindus around the world are celebrating Holi, the "festival of colors"--a springtime celebration where revelers throw brightly colored powders at friends and strangers alike. Participants gather to welcome the arrival of spring, commemorate Krishna's pranks, and allow one another a chance to drop inhibitions and simply play and dance together. Gathered below are images of this year's Holi festivals from Nepal, India, Pakistan, Kenya, and the U.S.
