Celebrating Holi

NY, Galena, D23

Hi, I’m Yazhini Arunprakash, I’m an upcoming junior at Galena High School. Holi is a celebration where Hindus and non-Hindus come together to have fun banter by throwing coloured powder at each other. Getting to celebrate this event, at Reno, was truly memorable. There were choreographed dances; many food and drink stalls; and a DJ playing songs. This cultural atmosphere drove a bond between all of us, where we were all laughing, running, and dancing. It created a community.
