Hindu devotees throw coloured powder at a temple during "Lathmar
Holi" at the village of Barsana in the northern Indian state of
Uttar Pradesh March 21, 2013. In a Holi tradition unique to Barsana
and Nandgaon villages, men sing provocative songs to gain the
attention of women, who then "beat" them with bamboo sticks called
"lathis". Holi, also known as the Festival of Colours, heralds the
beginning of spring and is celebrated all over India
