Puffs of colorful powder filled the air around the Foothill Parking Lot, where UC Berkeley’s Indian Student Association hosted Holi, a Hindu festival celebrating the start of spring.
Known as the “Festival of Colors” and celebrated in early March, Holi marks the transition from winter to spring and honors the love between Hindu deities Radha and Krishna. It also commemorates the victory of good over evil and is widely celebrated across South Asia.
Traditionally, Holi festivals involve singing, dancing and, most notably, the throwing of colorful powders in the air and at one another. ISA sold color packets to students before and during Holi and attendees of all backgrounds came together to celebrate.
