Mariana Zilbershteyn, Holi Samaj (PEOPLE 2023)

Captured whilst sitting with the men in the inner circle during Samaj at the Holi celebrations at Nandgaon temple, India 2023. These images were taken amidst a thick cloud of colours and water thrown on me and my camera. My eyes and camera lens equally blinded. These photos depict men from Barsana entering the temple in Nandgaon, locals from Nandgaon, drenching the men folk from Barsana, in colours of Holi to celebrate this occasion. Momentarily observing various exchanges between the men sitting around me.
