l'Holi Festival in India è una delle feste più attese dell'anno. Famoso in tutto il mondo, è tra le più antiche celebrazioni indù della stagione primaverile e coinvolge oltre un miliardo di persone. Le immagini che arrivano dall'India, Bangladesh, Nepal e Pakistan ritraggono volti coloratissimi e di grande bellezza. In tutto il subcontinente adulti e bambini aspettano questa ricorrenza, conosciuta come la festa dei colori, della gioia, dell'amore e del divertimento. I festeggiamenti, che durano due giorni, prevedono canti e balli per le vie delle città e dei villaggi. Le persone con i volti dipinti si trasformano in veri e propri arcobaleni e si buttano reciprocamente addosso secchi di vernice o polvere colorata. La tradizione vuole l'accensione di un falò che celebra la vittoria del bene sul male. Il termine Holi, infatti, significa “brucia” e lo spirito del male viene simbolicamente bruciato su questa pira. Il festival ha origine dalla mitologia induista: il dio Krishna, geloso della bellezza e del candore della pelle dell'amata Radha, un giorno le dipinse il volto con colori sgargianti. Ecco perché l'Holi è anche la festa degli innamorati, che si colorano il viso a vicenda in segno d'amore: una via di mezzo tra le nostre feste di Carnevale e San Valentino. La festa celebra inoltre l'arrivo della primavera e l'addio all'inverno. Ma è anche un momento di incontro e di puro divertimento. E' la giornata in cui si dimenticano i dolori e si perdona. In questa occasione vengono meno anche le rigide strutture sociali: ricchi e poveri, vecchi e giovani, uomini e donne festeggiano e scherzano insieme. Tradizione vuole che le vedove nella cultura Hindu debbano rinunciare ai piaceri terreni, perciò esse non festeggiano l'Holi. Unica eccezione riguarda le donne nei rifugii di Vrindavan, nello stato dell'Uttar Pradesh, che sono state abbandonate dalle loro famiglie.

Riccardo apart anything this photo is very beautiful! I love it, maybe I removed the lady to right and do not like the man on the left edge but you have caught good time, maybe just behind the girl would have been better had been shot in the face, but I repeat I love it , compliments. A greeting

very interesting photo for the content and very enjoyable for the atmosphere and the colors.
Almost perfection would have been if it had been possible to eliminate left and right to cut people ...

Thanks Fiosco and I Ro for passage. Obviously it's a series, of this shot I liked the interaction between the two figures, the sensual posture of her (body almost describes a S) and his gaze that seems to eat her eyes.

Beautiful image, made even more interesting by the light entering through the windows. From the compositional point of view I would cut it right that left putting more emphasis on the two protagonists, the dancer and the musician. From the technical point of view known little sharpness but takes nothing in this shot.

An image very beautiful and intense. The figures are cut in my opinion ... they do understand the situation of the crowd and contextualize the subjects. The light is beautiful, although it was recovered a lot in post nn mind at all. Well ... l India never disappoints. Bravo

The photo is beautiful, I think you could do differently in regard to the recovery of light
I find a picture very well contextualized (as also says Nico) who manages to understand the situation at that time was developing around you
A great shot, congratulations Riccardo

The shades on pink immediately a sense of celebration. The man with the drum seems to accompany the curve of the girl dancing body. These lines immediately catch the attention nscondendo so the background subjects that are quite disturbing. Still photos very beautiful and well crafted.

I really like this shot: the time read very well is the description you made the party. I like the expression of the boy and the movements of the girl I find expressive despite not see his face. The fact that there are people cut not see that as a flaw: it makes the wider environment, leading to imagine how the party will continue beyond the frame.
Congratulations also to the rest of the gallery: I've only seen the miniatures but it seems you did a great job.

I thank all cumulatively for the passage and appreciation. In this series, due to fatigue, agitation and unfamiliarity with the camera used, I have not expressed to the maximum from the technical point of view: the images are soft and often fire does not fall where I wanted. But, as I hoped, I see that the content "come" and that to me is a great pleasure!
