Sunday mud madness

So, completely unexpectedly on sunday afternoon we found out that some of the university's students and teachers were celebrating Krishna's birthday (Krishna Janmashtami) (no I didn't realise the gods had birthdays either) by smashing pots suspended very high up, and dunking each other in large amounts of mud.

Of course the fun and games was all reserved for the boys, with the ladies watching under umbrellas from a distance.

Here's a few pictures:
