Holi From Above
Tipster John Gardner sends photos our way of the Hindu Students Organization’s Holi festival. The annual springtime celebration features 1500 lbs. of paint for throwing at your friends and promises (threats?) of supersoakers. There will also be a classical dance performance explaining the origins of the celebration. It’s happening til around 2ish on the EC/IAB plaza.

Holi rocks. I wish I could do it this year. I loved watching the really, really confused passers-by on their way to EC.
those fuckers woke me up at 11am. bastards!
go away!
to sleep motherfucker.
I wish someone had had the good sense to sterilize your parents.
we had a time-lapse video!
The real Holi was actually a month ago, guys. I think it was on March 20th.
yeah, it was over spring break. but let’s not let authenticity get in the way of good fun
Filthy Pagans! It is lustful vanity for a woman to wear colors.
If my friends and I did this, we’d have a disciplinary hearing.
Why are they waterblasting it all off already!? The plaza looked so much better with it all there.
insanely amazing.
yay! Love the pictures from above =)
the hindu students org kids were all just taking pictures with eachother. seemed like it was less about the holiday and more about them increasing their tag total…..lame
no culture or religion that celebrates its holidays with friends/family commemorates the occasion by taking pictures. also it is completely unreasonable for those hindus to take pictures with their friends when they are covered from head to toe in paint — that shit happens every day. TOTALLY lame!
you mad that taal kids werent taking photos of you?
