Vartavar is a festival in Armenia where people of all ages drench each other with water. Vartavar has pagan origins, but has been absorbed into Christianity. It is celebrated ever year across the country. Many residents gather at Garni Pagan Temple (seen here in this video) to pay homage to Astghik, the goddess of love, water and fertility.
