So many of the Holi traditions revolve around Lord Krishna, that colour swirling around a central point was the best way for me to express my thought !! As the legends go Lord Krishna was quite dark by complexion and his beloved Radha extremely fair. He would complain to his mother as to how unfair this was. His mother tried to mollify him by asking him to go and colour Radha's face, and as he did  so, colouring her to look just like him, that is how the practice of holi began. Whether that is true or not, the whole country uses the excuse of holi, to colour each other and then miraculously each one looks exactly like the other !! Beautiful isn't it? :)
