Indian widows dance as they celebrate Holi or "festival of colors" in Vrindavan on March 3, 2015. Widows congregated on a small patio of the ashram in which they live and danced and played with colored powder to celebrate the occasion. The widows of this and other ashrams in this northern town are sponsored by the NGO, Sulabh International which funds most of their needs.
