More than 5,000 pounds of food-grade colored powder in a rainbow of hues were tossed joyfully into the air on Saturday and Sunday at Sand Hill Fields in observance of Holi, the spring Hindu Festival of Colors. The music-filled event was hosted by the student organization Asha Stanford as a fundraiser, with proceeds going to educational nonprofits in India.
