It&#8217;s from a site called <a href="http://zaminonline.com/"><span style="color:#0000ff;">Zamin Online,</span></a> which is mostly in Arabic. Does anybody have any ideas on where the pic might be from? I would love to know if it&#8217;s some kind of colour-based cultural event, or what the purpose/history (if any&#8230;) is behind the amazing vibrancy everyone is sporting.</p>
<p>Click on the pic below to enlarge and see it in its original context at Zamin Online.</p>
