On Saturday, I went to the Festival of Colors in Spanish Fork with Amy and some of her friends from Helaman Halls. The Festival of Colors is this “fundraiser” for an Indian church at their temple in Spanish Fork. They invite all of the BYU, UVU, and U of U students to come and participate in throwing these bags full of, pretty much, ground up chalk that you buy. So, we all got in our least favorite pair of jeans and a white-tee and headed over to the temple.
*this is their temple*
We got to listen to some pretty awesome Indi music and chanted this saying that I still am not sure on the meaning of (Hawsh Krishna got very boring very quickly) and then we were told the story about the evil witch who use to burn babies so they have the festival to burn a likeness of the witch made out of sticks and then throw the colors in a celebration of peace.
When we threw the colors, I literally couldn't see anything around me. It was a huge cloud of colors and it smelled wretched, but it was pretty cool looking. And then we were all covered in powder.
*Before the Colors were thrown*
*After the Colors were thrown*
*Leopard Face!*
*Just look at that multitude of colored people*
We tried to clean ourselves off as best we could before getting into the cars, but we still look pretty colorful after the drive back to Provo…
