Celebrate Holi in India, with PINK VIBGYOR

With the end of February, the month of March brings a lot of excitement in store. The change of season from the coldest to spring and summer – the time when flowers start to bloom, one puts some vibrant shorts and tees and head out under the sun, showing some skin is nearly on. The arrival of summer is the arrival of a new routine. In the month of March, India brings one of the most famous festivals in the country, Holi – a celebration signifying the arrival of spring season.

 

 

Holi is a very distinctive cultural festival that evokes the cheerful spirit of the spring season. Well known for its lively and energetic celebrations, the Holi festival is eminently linked with colors and water. People engage themselves in playing holi – hand size balloons are filled up with water, everyone takes color powders in their hands – and they apply the colors on and throw the balloons at one another. This is how the celebration goes and it is companied with a lot of fun and merry-making.

 

 

 This beautiful festival is linked to ancient stories and myths. The generally regarded and popular story is the story of the two deities, Krishna and Radha. Legend has that young Krishna, who had dark skin tone wanted his complexion to be like his beloved, Radha's extremely fair skin. In a mischievous disposition, he applied color on his beloved’s face. Following this ancient legend, even now, lovers apply colors on their beloved’s faces in a playful way and as an expression of love.

 

 Travelling to India during this festive month of March is an experience of a lifetime. Visit places where Holi is celebrated most exuberantly. You will come across a very different and unique scenario where you will see people having fun and enjoying themselves playing with colors and water, but the more amusing part is when you participate in playing it – no matter what, it leaves you with fond and cheerful memories.

In a village in Uttar Pradesh, Barsana, the womenfolk beat up men from neighboring village of Nandgaon with sticks, which is particularly known as ‘Lathmar’ Holi celebrations. It is worth visiting the village for a dose of experience. In the areas of Mathura and Vrindavan, the celebrations begin much prior to the actual time of the festival. Mathura, four hours from Delhi is the place where Lord Krishna was born, and Vrindavan, the place where he spent his childhood days. The capital of the country is also nonetheless energetic and lively; Delhi brings an occasion of color, music and madness during this period, including the Holi Cow Festival. Holi festival continues to spread in places like Shantiniketan and Purulia in West Bengal and Jaipur in Rajasthan. The southern states of the country are quite subdued and solemn regarding this festival. The festival of Holi is truly a wonder with all the fun, enjoyment and energy. The festival has now gained a lot of popularity even across the globe.

The right ingredient

A normal tour is made a gay tour by adding just the right components of gay friendly operators, hotels, restaurants (ofcourse with the best ratings!) , friendly guides , drivers etc. but overdoing it can make it cheesy.
