Holi: Festival of Colors

Last week was my spring break, so although I did nothing for the first half, I headed to Clemson for the second half. I had a blast getting to be with friends I don't get to see very often. We did a smorgasbord of things while I was there, but one thing I really enjoyed was going to Holi. Holi is a spring festival performed in India to celebrate colors. They basically have this colorful, dyed powder that they rub on themselves and each other. The Indian group at Clemson put on an event with some yummy Indian food and lots and lots of colors. It was really cool to see and experience a tradition that belongs to people of another culture. Here are some pics:
