Through a blitz of color and goodwill they chanted in honor of Holi. On a Saturday night, on the third floor of the Lower East Side’s Bhakti Center, those of the Hindu faith came together to celebrate what is commonly known as the festival of colors, love and spring.
Sitting before a shrine of three deities draped in flowers, worshipers sang and danced as two members of the Bhakti Center took turns sprinkling petals over the Gods. The event combined both the official start to Holi as well as Pushpa Abhishek, which translates to bathing in flowers. Holi can be celebrated in a variety of ways and the Bhakti Center decided to use flowers for their festivities.
