Nepalese revelers paint their faces for Holi festivities in Kathmandu on Wednesday. Holi, also known as the festival of colors, is a spring festival celebrated by Hindus. During celebrations, observers often pelt friends and relatives with vibrant, perfumed powders. The Nepalese police tightened restrictions on pranksters this year, threatening men with jail time for throwing water balloons at women. Photo by Prakash Mathema/AFP/Getty Images.
