Holi: Festival of Colours, India


We like to shout about the wonderful things that happen all over the world so that you know just where to be and when to experience them!

Coming up soon is Holi, the Festival of Colour, on March 8th. Celebrated primarily in India, Nepal and Pakistan, this is the first Hindu festival of the year and is something really special to look forward to. 



This two day festival is an array of colour, with people throwing coloured powder and water on each other, and celebrating the beginning of the spring, when colour starts to burst again after the winter season. 

We can't think of a better time to visit India, when the atmosphere is exitable and your surroundings are an erruption of colour.


Have a look at this video to see what Holi is all about...we're sure you'll be convinced in two and a half minutes time!
