Holi – Northern India 🇮🇳

Holi is an annual Hindu festival celebrated in Northern India that is known for its vibrant and lively atmosphere. The festival is marked by participants playfully throwing coloured powder at one another, which represents the arrival of spring and pays homage to various events from Hindu mythology of good winning over evil. The festival typically lasts for a full day and night and is a joyous celebration of the end of winter and the arrival of the spring growing season.

Amongst the joyful festivity, Holi can be quite chaotic and intense for a tourist. Definitely, do your own research before attending the festival to ensure its an experience you want to attend because everyone is different, it may or may not be your cup of tea. Besides, it's worth noting that Holi is celebrated in other parts of the world, including Nepal, Sri Lanka, and even parts of the United States and Europe.
