Phagwah Celebrations in New York

In the Richmond Hill section of Queens, New York, Hindus from Guyana and Trinidad celebrate Phagwah, the Caribbean name for the Indian festival of Holi, by dousing each other with colored powders and liquids.  There is also a parade down Liberty Avenue, so the event becomes an Indo-Caribbean national day, marking the arrival of spring.  These photos are from 2004.
