Do you know th Holi Festival ? (fête des couleurs)
Holi celebrates Khrishna and the arrival of Spring.
It's really very popular. people throw coloured powders at every one and then buckets of water so every one gets very colorful from hair to toes and as the colour pigments are very strong, you'll be coloured for more than a day!

je tiens à préciser que sur cette "fête des couleurs", il y a toute une symbolique entre les diverses divinités.... Mais je m'emmêlerais si je commençais..
Autre chose, une connaissance très très proche y est allée plusieurs fois il y a très longtemps.... Donc ses connaissances ne sont peut-être plus de tout à fait actuelle, en parlant par exemple de l'importance des villes...

peut-être pas le plus complet et récent, mais ça m'aura fait plaisir
