The Golden Temple on Tilak Holi

Holi is a festival of colors in India. Every year it is celebrated with colors and water. In Amritsar people gather at The Golden Temple with religious fervor. This year in wake of environmental issues Holi was celebrated merely by a tilak (mark on the forehead). So this year the festival was noticeable low-key at the shrine.
But that did not keep the mood of the place from being interesting. If there were kites flying into the premises, there were several floating in the sarovar. And there were also women seeking for blessings under the 'ber' tree with their stretched veils and hopeful eyes.
