dal


Explanation:
In the sense of "political party", the Hindi word would be दल (dal).

As verb (as in he likes partying a lot) the Hindi term would be जश्न मनाना (jashna manana)or दावत उड़ाना (davat udana).

As a noun the appropriate Hindi words are भोज (bhoj), प्रीतिभोज (preetibhoj), दावत (davat), पार्टी (party)। Party itself is a naturalised Hindi word now like बस (bus), स्टेशन (station), कंप्यूटर (computer), and many many more words

The word party is used in another sense too as in third party. For this sense पक्ष (paksh)is the Hindi term to be used.

paksha, party


Explanation:
Aggrived party, confirming party and so on will take paksha for party in translation. Without context, it is difficult to provide a term for the word party.
