Jaipur at Holi & Elephant Festival Time.... Maybe the prettiest holiday on the planet

Is there any more beautiful and colorful celebration on Earth than Holi in Jaipur?  I don't know....   I only hope the elephants don't mind their couture and make-up.  I saw one painted like this last March when I was in Goa and he (or she?) seemed pretty content.

I never said I was a princess. I only tried to behave like one.

“I am a princess. All girls are. Even if they live in tiny old attics. Even if they dress in rags, even if they aren’t pretty, or smart, or young. They’re still princesses.” 

― Frances Hodgson Burnett, A Little Princess
