Holi Festivals
A crowd watches as her face is covered in coloured powder during Holi Festival celebrations in Kuala Lumpur March 31, 2013. Holi Festival is also known as Dolyatra (Doul Jatra) or Basanta-Utsav (spring festival) in West Bengal and Orissa of India. Holi is celebrated with most anticipation in the Braj region, or locations connected to the god Krishna, which are Mathura, Vrindavan, Nandagaon, and Barsana. Many of these become tourist destinations during the festive season, which can last up to 16 days.DPI/Samsul Said
