Holi 2011—it happened just this morning in front of Pupin! Scores of Columbia students gathered to engage in the powdered paint fight that is Holi, a whimsically carefree Hindu celebration of spring. This Bwogger (post-shower, thankfully—that paint is super hard to get out of your hair!) can honestly say that the sense of Columbia community at this event was palpable. Participants even broke out into a chorus of “Roar, Lion, Roar!” Seriously guys, when does that ever happen?! Enjoy the photos, friends. If you missed out, make sure you check it out next year!

@Columbia Undergrad The location was changed but the quality of Holi didn’t, those photos will live on forever

@EPIC AMAZING EVENT
@Anonymous this was my 4th n last holi…ill miss it, it was by far my favorite event of the yearrrrrrr =/
@Anonymous Maybe if you spent less time at Holi, and more time studying, you would have learned proper grammar.
@Just Sayin' Maybe you should suck less.
@Anonymous Yea? Maybe if you spent time studying instead of telling people to study you would have learned that this is a SPELLING mistake, not a GRAMMAR mistake. Hit the books son, finals are just around the corner.
@Another columbian ^^ ditto

At the 84th St Loew’s Cinema right before Harry Potter in November. You reported about it, Bwog.
