Is life feeling mundane and colorless as we drudge out of winter? Want something really exciting and free to take your worries away?
Consider celebrating Holi, the Hindu Spring "Festival of Colors." Holi is celebrated by throwing colored powder and colored water at your friends. [Pictures from previous years]
When: Saturday March 27, 2010, 2-5pm
Where: Main Mall
Why: According to one legend, the festival tradition of applying colored powder comes from Lord Krishna's (one of the gods in Hinduism) complaint to his mother about the contrast between his dark skin and his love Radha’s fair skin. His mother applied color to Radha’s face to make it appear to have the same color, and the festival was born.
Celebrate with the Hindu Students Council for FREE! No matter your beliefs, everyone is welcome. They will be giving out FREE rang (the paint), FREE water balloons, FREE snacks, FREE t-shirts, and FREE prizes!
You probably want to wear a shirt you don't mind getting a little "messy," and a white shirt usually shows the colors best.
Here is a Holi video:
