[rclikes2go]

This is soooo much fun! Gets bigger and bigger every year...

[videoman223]

Like anyone gave a fuck about what it was really for, they just wanted to throw colors on them selves.

[gcord21]

Do you have to be drunk or high to enjoy these festivals because they look boring.

[LittleWolfie08]

@gcord21 or just learn to love the little things in life vuv

and the colors look really pretty

[jaanmeindum]

I just voted on Indiais.org for this video..terrific display of celebration and colors in this video..i loved it!

[ashokpartha]

a lot salutes to the maker of this video.

but every body should see the lathmaar holi (beating the men with sticks by women) in barsaana, india,the birthplace of radha rani

can contact me at my mail : ashok.gupta4@gmail.com

[GaladedridDamodred]

IT LOOKS LIKE SO MUCH FUN

[stinknus]

I live in SLC haven't gone :( , I'm totally going 2012

[TheRavi1030]

come to india !

[Shenzo33]

@evanmeetsworld WOW! Super video and shots man. Have you guys heard of a global video competition called "India Is" Global Video Challenge? Your video fits under two of the competitions themes, India is Colourful and India is Wherever You Are (given that this festival was celebrated all the way in Utah).

Check out the official website - indiais.org and consider entering the competition. There is a trip to India + some crazy cool lomography and other cameras to be won.

Good luck!

[tiannam117]

Everyone there is Mormon and is just a good excuse of something to take a girl to in college.

[cutie404610]

omfg. i want to go so bad!

[ljguy300]

its beautiful

[dustind801]

I had SOOO much fun this year, and plan to go on the next one!! I guess someone said it's curious that so many people in an LDS dominated area would be so open-minded for this, but perhaps the question is whether the world is open-minded enough to see that there are people like us in Utah. Oh well, I am happy to have been here and, I hope my friends in India can attend next time!

[radhikamohandas]

Hi there,

I just watched the video and being an Indian, I don't think I've had as much fun playing Holi as you guys seem to have had there! There's a video challenge called the India Is Global Video Challenge 2011. Take a look at the criteria- you'll find this video fits in perfectly.

Make it an official entry, this is where you can submit it - indiais.org. It's by the Govt of India, so completely legit :)

[bianxkrish23]

I want to experience that too! how was it? I'm half indian but I grew up in my mom's country. I haven't experience any indian festivals though my dad is living with us.

[dustind801]

@bianxkrish23 Simply put...AMAZING! You have to attend next time!

Just a suggestion, buy your own powder (must be in sealed packet, and be organic) so you don't have to limit your fun :)

[bianxkrish23]

@dustind801 oh I wish I could but I'm from philippines :) thanks though and post some videos for the next one. I would like to see it :D

[b0n3z0r]

[RawnPowa]

AHAJSKasdsgls, holi. Kjnsaf klsdnfksd.

[zOMGLaserGunzPewPew]

@theREaLFRiCTIoN This isn't in India

[POLARISuMi]

@theREaLFRiCTIoN Indians are in India.... best example of exchanging culture ... :)

[NYCLOVER1026]

@theREaLFRiCTIoN I'm pretty sure this is the festival that's in Utah! :)

[murthy18]

[rocky777777rock]

HOliiii....Missing my lovely India...

[bbbbbb222222]

whats up with the fire? I didnt get that part, why would you do that?

[rocky777777rock]

@bbbbbb222222 Fire is the night before Holi...it shows the win of good over evil ... and it can also be combined as prayer for new harvested farms and prosperity ..!! Cheers!! Love my India and miss my India :)

[bbbbbb222222]

@rocky777777rock yeah well, thanks for the contamination asshole. go bath in that disgusting river full of corpses of yours. and while you are at it take a shit in the public street, like your people do.

[rocky777777rock]

@bbbbbb222222 Looser dick head....you cant understand...its above your head.....be busy fucking the whole where you came from...this is who you are...

[bbbbbb222222]

@rocky777777rock Yeah, above my head. It is above my head that someone can be so retarded to have devotion to rats and cows. Your country is fucking disgusting. And why is everyone telling me that I fuck my mother lately?

[rocky777777rock]

@bbbbbb222222 dear bbbbbb222,,,.. you cant understand sorry,..to understand this you have to read some stuff...i hope you have this much education in your life that you can read....you dont even know the basics...how can you say something without knowing the thing. first read and than i will be happy to have a discussion with you...first have some ethics and cultural values...

[julzjewlz]

so effin beautiful



[m00tmike]

Totally gorgeous!! Did your camera end up multi-colored after this? How did you protect it?

[mikehedge]

ACE!

[smeltfry]

Uh, yeah, no.

[TheWhiterose91]

fascinating that a crowd this size in an LDS dominated area can still open their hearts and minds and rejoice in chanting the maha mantra. Restores my hope for our generation :D HARIBOL EVERYONE!!!

[Shinkunana]

I want to go to one. ;-;

[Karras8]

I was there. What a fun day!! :)

[steww899]

IT can be the new benetton commercial

[sacredmusic04]

I was there w/Larisa Stow & Shakti Tribe--love this video! They were the ones with the stickers. ;-) See you next year!!

[hasjaru]

come to shantiniketan,India. you will enjoy a lot

[kyiblog]

Throwing color and water although a lot of fun, doesnt necessarily become a holi celebration.....I mean i am all for cultural integration and commend the effort but do they even know what Holi is? looks like a fun celebration though :)

[zOMGLaserGunzPewPew]

Who else loves the girl in a wedding dress at 1:46?

[11kburke]

who is the artist and song im trying to look this up and i cant find it with just the song name!!!!!!!!!!

[evanmeetsworld]

@11kburke there's a link in the video description to download it for free. youtube doesn't let you put links in comments so that people don't spam them. freshbigmoufdotcom.

[jaanmeindum]

Amazing celebration of a great festival...amazing song and awesome video I must say...

[maheshkumarg2]

please anyone give link of the music of this video

[evanmeetsworld]

@maheshkumarg2 There is a link in the video description.

[Rajendrasinghlabana]

@evanmeetsworld : There is no link in the description. It just says that the song can be downloaded from some site ...bigmouf.com. You can see there are so many people asking for the track. So, can you please be kind to post the full proper link to the song... Thanks man.

[evanmeetsworld]

@Rajendrasinghlabana That is the link. Go to the freshbigmouf website and you can download the song for free. That's the only way to get it. Go to the site, go to the music player on the site, go to the song track called "The Clips.. (Colorfest)" and click on the "download" button next to it to download it or just click on the song title to listen to it. It has been downloaded hundreds of times so I'm sure the link is correct.

[Rajendrasinghlabana]

@evanmeetsworld Found it. Thanks a lot man... and the song is just amazing!!!

[Rajendrasinghlabana]

@evanmeetsworld Found it. Thanks a lot man... and the song is just amazing!!! Sorry for pestering you so much.

[mitts61]

Oh THIS can't be bad for you at ALL!! No...all that powder and coloring in your lungs and eyes? Perfectly safe.

[Ultimate600]

@mitts61 If it wasn't safe, they probably wouldn't have thrown with it ;-]

[digantism]

[murthy18]

Beautiful Editing of the video, Being an Indian I want to def attend Holi in Utah next year for sure!! Great Job!! Long live Holi and Colorful Souls!!

[vasireddye]

Super, well composed nice song The Clips

[bestofutkarsh]

I wanna be there next year ... for sure

[Lakeviewthreads]

How did you keep the cameras clean? and the lenses? I was thinking of going to burning man this year and this is a problem for our equipment.

[evanmeetsworld]

@Lakeviewthreads Well... we didn't. But we made efforts. We used rain covers for the cameras, but then you can't see the monitor on the back so the cameras were often partially uncovered. But we changed memory cards as little as possible and never changed lenses to keep the dust out of the shutter apparatus. Things got dirty, but survived. Tricky because I think the sand at burning man is grittier. But rain covers and tape are a good place to start.

[ravensgangsta]

Dude Holi is a hindu Fesitval..But who cares. Who doesnt Celebrate Christmas? Christmas is not even aa religious holiday only anymore. It is a social, giving, loving holiday now meant for everyone. Holi is the same way, people getting together having fun

[UnDeathRider]

nice video.

[arindamibm]

which song is this?

[evanmeetsworld]

@arindamibm The song is called The Clips. There's a link in the video description to a free download.

[pompsjackal]

How it went to usa!..nice

[shrilayt]

omg does it really matter that holi is a hindu festival?? its great and it made me smile to watch ppl from different parts of the world celebrating it......i actually wanna go and tell them what diwali is and have the whole world celebrate it with us Indians........stop all this hatred and discrimination

[skateboard19952006]

20 people are colorblind

[nishchrocks]

whats the background music?

[evanmeetsworld]

@nishchrocks The song is called The Clips. There's a link in the video description to a free download.

[urbium]

Can someone say "Excess Quantities of MDMA?"

[zOMGLaserGunzPewPew]

@urbium Mormons don't do drugs or drink alcohol.

[urbium]

@zOMGLaserGunzPewPew

You honestly think that Utah only houses Mormons? Or that hardcore mormons would even go to a festival like this?
