People are being asked their thoughts on hosting the Hindu festival Holi in Crystal Palace Park this year. 

The event is said to involve a lot of colours and celebration, the special feature is that the people paint themselves with various colours and throw colourful powder in the air.  

It's an event aimed at expressing freedom and colour to everyday life. 

The most important thing is, that at this day all castes of the Indian caste-system are banned and put out of force, it is a day of equality. 

Organisers have said that any paint is nontoxic and washes away easily with water.

The event could see around 10,000 people gather at the park and will run from between May and September. 

All thoughts and ideas are to be sent to Bromley Council.
