Krishna Celebrates Holi
A colorful painting depicts a scene from "Krishna Celebrates Holi". The artwork features a red border around a central yellow scene with swirling orange lines. Two large baskets of orange powder are on the ground. On the right side, a woman wearing a long orange dress with a beige shawl and a woman wearing a pink dress with yellow and white stripes are spraying colored powder from syringes. A group of women stand beside them, smiling and watching. A man crouches by a basket, preparing or dipping a syringe. On the left side, a group of mostly shirtless men, some wearing head wraps or turbans, play drums or spray colored powder. A blue-skinned man wearing a yellow and white striped dhoti and a green head wrap holds a horn. The painting is by an unknown artist.
