While most everyone was celebrating St. Patrick’s Day and
pinching each other for not wearing green, there was an entirely different
celebration taking place Monday! This colorful Indian holiday is known as the Holi, a celebration of the
end of winter, love and unity, and the triumph of good over evil. It is
celebrated by tossing vibrant paint powder all over each other, dancing to
special Holi music, and eating traditional food. On March 17, 2014, The University
of Texas at Tyler celebrated had their first annual campus Holi festival on the
patio by the Met!
