On the actual day of Holi there's huge festivities in the hotel, even new channels are here documenting the activities. We decide to head out and within minutes we have buckets of water thrown over us in the auto rickshaw, we're soaking, and then in the slow crawl of the traffic we are easy targets, more water, a lot of coloured power slapped onto our faces, and when we get out of the auto we are completely surrounded. This is a scary situation, so we quickly agree to head back and flag down another auto, but have more water deluges on our return. Relieved to be back in the safety of our hotel we wash our grey stained clothes and relax. That was a crazy Holi festival and by the afternoon the streets are safe to walk in, with the roads are covered in coloured powder and it's all back to normal!
