At the Meera Sahbhagini Ashram in Vrindabad, Uttar Pradesh, India, Hindu widows celebrate with a shower of flowers during the Holi festivities on March 27, 2013. The women, who had been banished by their families to the temple town (the traditional childhood home of the Hindu god Krishna) after their husbands’ deaths, were participating in the festival for the first time.
