A Hindu devotee looks on in a cloud of coloured powder inside 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. REUTERS/Vivek Prakash (INDIA – Tags: RELIGION SOCIETY TPX IMAGES OF THE DAY) – RTR3FA2L
