Wow so this is the "Holi Festival " originated, I haven't thought there is a story behind it . Awesome! I am familiar of Krishna the hindu God, He has a great story. I've known Krishna while I was doing yoga and my mentors are believers of Krishna.
I've got a yogee beads for chanting the name of Hare Krishna Hare-Rama . But I am not so active anymore, however, I am open and respect their traditional way of living .:)
I assume the Holi is for fun before haha :D Interesting info here @majes.tytyty
