Story and photos by Monty Siekerman
The ONU  Indian Student Association held a springtime Holi Festival on the Tundra on Saturday afternoon. It's a Festival of Colors.

Holi is a Hindu festival that signifies the victory of good over evil, the arrival of spring, and the end of winter. During the festival, participants play, chase, and color each other with dry powder.

The Hindu festival is celebrated in all parts of India, lasting a day and a half. At ONU the tossing of colored powder lasts maybe 15 minutes, but is full of enthusiasm and joy by those who participate.
