Lord I stand with Levi85 and plead the blood of Jesus over India!! Lord I know you love them and want to redeem that country. I ask that you send your Spirit and angles during this time to open their eyes and hearts to the Fathers love. Protect Levi85 and family and give them divine appointments to share Your Love in Jesus name!
Dear Lord, we agree with Levi, please reveal Yourself to the people who are blind and don't know you, those who are worshipping false gods and worshipping idols there in India.
Please Lord send your missionaries among them like Gospel for Asia. Please break the stronghold of the hindi's gods and may their hearts be touched by the truth of Your Son who died on the cross for their sins.
Please Lord let the blinders fall off of their eyes that they would experience freedom in You - that they would know your love, your mercy and your grace. In Jesus's name we pray - Amen!

Oh shoot, I just realised that I attended that same ceremony with my Indian relatives at their house last Saturday night...oops (I'm half Indian). I only participated with the colour powder thing though. Still, I hope my relatives will see the truth soon.
Holi celebrations start on the night before Holi with a Holika bonfire where people gather, do religious rituals in front of the bonfire, and pray that their internal evil should be destroyed as the bonfire starts.
The next morning is celebrated as Rangwali Holi - a free-for-all carnival of colours, where participants play, chase and colour each other with dry powder and coloured water, with some carrying water guns and coloured water-filled balloons for their water fight.
Anyone and everyone is fair game, friend or stranger, rich or poor, man or woman, children and elders.
The frolic and fight with colours occurs in the open streets, open parks, outside temples and buildings.
Groups carry drums and other musical instruments, go from place to place, sing and dance. People visit family, friends and foes to throw coloured powders on each other, laugh and gossip, then share Holi delicacies, food and drinks.
