What is the 'Festival of Colours'?



The images of people dancing and celebrating as they throw coloured powder is a spectacular sight to see, but what is its significance? In parts of India, the festival is celebrated for 16 days in commemoration of the divine love of Radha for Krishna, a Hindu deity. Throughout the world it is celebrated as a festival of love and the festive day to rid oneself of past errors and conflicts, a day to forgive and forget.

It really is a celebration that brings people of all backgrounds together, a day where family and friends can let their hair down and have fun!



Hare Krishna Valley and Hare Krishna Melbourne will host the 'Festival of Colours' in Bambra, Victoria on Sunday 26th April, 2015 from 11am to 4pm.

Where?

A good part of the day will be spent throwing coloured powders to a background of live music. There will also be jumping castles for the kids and lots of vegetarian snacks and meals.



Packets of coloured powders are available for purchase for $5 per packet or 3 for $10. You can buy the coloured powders online ahead of time and they will be given to you at the venue registration table. To buy coloured powder packets before the event visit Festival of Colours

It promises to be a unique and fun day for everyone!
