I tried and tried to photograph these in Kathmandu and just couldn't get the composition right. You, on the other hand, succeeded!

Hello TomBrooklyn. These dyes are used for the Holi festival, also known as the festival of color (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holi). On the main day of the festival, people spray each other with powdered dyes and colored water. I believe they wear white, and end up the day looking like an abstract painting :) I'm sure the dyes have other uses as well...not sure what.
