You might have noticed clouds of colour emanating from Lansdowne Park recently. The cause was a celebration by the Association for Students from India who hosted a bash to mark Holi, the annual Hindu spring festival that marks a triumph of good over evil.
Event co-ordinators Aishwarya Purohit and Mugdha Manerkar honoured the day in the Horticulture Building, where 125 pounds of coloured powder was thrown in traditional Indian style.
