The non-stop party, which started at noon, is being staged at Church Leeds on Woodhouse Lane. The festival, also known as Rang Barse, is sponsored by Asian restaurant chain Aagrah and was organised by the Leeds Indian Student Association and Leeds Beckett and Leeds University student unions. Designed to bring cultures together and celebrate diversity, today's event was held ahead of a bigger outdoor colour festival planned for Millennium Square in May.
