Happy Holi!

We've been studying Ancient India, and decided to celebrate Holi, a holiday that commemorates the triumph of good over evil and marks the beginning of spring. We had fun with the traditional throwing of the colors.

I am cooking up vegetable pakora and making thandi, and we are watching some videos about India.





Edited to add: Yum!!!!
