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.
More aerial photography by John Gardner after the jump.

@wtf 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
@true dat 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!
@are you mad that taal kids werent taking photos of you?
@Ramya yay! Love the pictures from above =)
@amazing. insanely amazing.
@Maaan Why are they waterblasting it all off already!? The plaza looked so much better with it all there.
@wtf If my friends and I did this, we’d have a disciplinary hearing.
@Huldrych Zwingli Filthy Pagans! It is lustful vanity for a woman to wear colors.
@Random 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
@i wish we had a time-lapse video!
@no! those fuckers woke me up at 11am. bastards!

@Go back to sleep motherfucker.
@In fact I wish someone had had the good sense to sterilize your parents.
@Casey Holi rocks. I wish I could do it this year. I loved watching the really, really confused passers-by on their way to EC.
