WVII covers Holi celebration at UMaine

WVII (Channel 7) covered a celebration of Holi, the festival of spring celebrated in southern Asian cultures, hosted by the University of Maine’s South Asian Association of Maine (SAAM) on March 24. Traditionally, colored powders are thrown to celebrate the end of winter and the beginning of spring, according to the report. “We’re just here to share culture and help people know why we do things that we do, and just create more awareness about South Asia,” said Shweta Desai, president of SAAM.
