Nearly 600 pounds of colored powder sat neatly arranged in Ziploc bags Thursday afternoon at Sunset Recreation Center.
Thirty minutes later, as the powder settled, the grass was no longer just green and students left with multicolored clothing and a better understanding of a long-celebrated part of Indian culture.
About 1,500 students attended UCLA’s sixth annual Holi festival. The Undergraduate Students Association Council’s Office of the President and General Representative 1 office, the Indian Student Union, Indus and the UCLA Global Connections Council organized the event.
