Dropping paint on anyone and everyone is the norm at Holi, it’s part of the festivities.  

Holi is a celebration for all ages, singles, and families alike.  Everyone is welcome to join in the fun and throw some powder-paint.  

Holi is a colorful celebration where merrymaking is partaken in by all.  

Wiping paint on others heads and faces is a completely acceptable action at Holi.  When one does this, many also say, “Happy Holi”.  

The emphasis of Holi is fun, and these two attendees had lots of fun dancing even while stacked on top of each other.  

The Holi celebration at TAMU included colored powder-paint, lots of water, crowd surfing, and plenty of group photos.  

One of the main focuses of Holi is dancing- everyone participates.  Many different types of dancing can be seen, and many times strangers are teaching strangers their favorite dance.  

A conga line was formed at Holi and weaved all throughout the crowd. 

At Holi some people take the time to pose for the camera and some just keep on dancing- here, a Holi participant posed.  

One dance you can see multiple times at Holi is where people in a circle all mimic what one person does- here, the move is putting your finger on your face.  

The main thing one notices upon attending Holi is that everyone wipes powder-paint on each others faces and heads.  It’s a gesture most do not run into in their everyday life.  

The dense center of the crowd danced extensively and even raised many people to crowd surf. 

Many people were lifted on to shoulders to throw paint around the crowd.  

While some say Holi is the least religious Hindu holiday, at it’s core it still has a spiritual basis. 

At the center of the crowd was a water hose that sprayed on everyone, it helped cool people off and smooth the powder paint that had been thrown on everyone.  

The environment at Holi is very friendly, and people wipe paint on strangers faces or heads.  

At Holi, people of all ages are welcome to join in and throw some powder-paint.
