Best of 2015: The many colors of Holi

People from all religious backgrounds and faiths came together early March for the annual Holi festival at Radha Madhav Dham in southern Travis County. The Hindu temple and ashram has been at that location for 20 years. Holi is also called the Spring Festival as it marks the arrival of spring, the season of hope and joy. It is known as the festival of colors, and traditionally played in India every year to mark the beginning of the spring season. At Radha Madhav Dham, Holi is played in the same style as it is in Braj district of India. (Photo courtesy of Radha Madhav Dham)
