Happy Holi day for Hindus with splash of color in New York
About 200 people Saturday packed the Peking, a ship docked at the South Street Seaport to celebrate Holi - the Hindu festival of colors.
Balling fistfuls of powder - purple, red, kelly green and electric blue - participants tossed the contents into faces and bodies to celebrate life and love. It's called a Rang Barse party, which translates to "rain of color."
"This is a festival that everyone looks forward to," said organizer RoHiKa Hardas, director of IN Group. "It's a reason to eat and dance and to add color to your life for the rest of the year."
