festival of colors.

On Saturday, Whitney and a bunch of friends attended the "Festival of Colors" celebration at the Hare Krishna Hindu temple in Spanish Fork. The story behind the ritual of burning a witch and then throwing colored chalk at each other is unclear. Everytime she asks, a new explanation is given. Even wikipedia does not give a clear cut answer. Imagine that. Whatever the reason, it was fun to be a part of the chalk-throwing celebration which resulted in being totally covered in pink, blue, green, yellow, orange, and purple. And even 48 hours later, Whitney still has an aura of pink around her head from the pink chalk that seems to have decided to take up residence in her hair despite vigorous scrubbing.
