The extended Indian community welcomed the arrival of spring with a joyful Holi celebration at the Orinda Community Park on Sunday, March 24. This traditional Indian festival, known for its vibrant colors and lively atmosphere, brought families and friends together for an afternoon of food and fun.
Attendees participated in the celebration, applying colors (flour with food grade coloring) onto each other. The park sported a kaleidoscope of hues as colors were thrown in the sky. Laughter filled the air as kids darted around playfully chasing each other with colors in their hands and adults danced to the beat of Indian music.
In addition to the colorful revelry, the event featured a spread of Indian savory snacks and sweets. The celebration honored cultural traditions and also highlighted the Lamorinda community's diversity.
The Holi celebration was organized by the Lamorindians (a doubled dipped portmanteau of Lamorinda and Indians).
