Explore the colours of Holi
No festival is complete without some
high-on-calories sweets. Delhi, a heaven for foodies offers plenty of
choices for those with a sweet-tooth. After splashing in the festival
colours and launching water canons on friends, visit Old Delhi's
Chandni Chowk to gorge on mouth-watering jalebis, gulab jamuns and
maal-puas. If you are in the magical Mathura Vrindavan, the
birthplace of Lord Krishna where old meets the new, enjoy the Braj
Raas Leela being played out, an ancient tradition depicting Krishna
playing Holi with his Gopis.
Royal bash in Rajasthan
You celebrated Holi with a royal
fervour, watched the elephant parade right in the heart of the city
and danced with locals to folk songs. Now head down to enjoy the
celebrations in Govind Devji temple and the beautiful Birla Mandir, a
major attraction during Holi.
In Banswara, after dancing with the
tribal community, visit the famous Tripura Sundari and Sai Temple to
offer your prayers.
A Cultural celebration
Holi in West Bengal is no small affair.
After enjoying the Basanat Utsav, as Holi celebrations are known in
West Bengal, head down to Chhatimtala, a famous tourist spot where
Maharshi Debendranath Tagore, father of Nobel Laureate meditated. You
can also make a trip to Khoai Mela, famous for its various artefacts
and handicrafts items.
After you have splashed the colours of
Lal Mati in Purulia and swayed to the local Jhumur tunes, head to
Ayodhya Hill, 700 mts above sea level, it is a perfect spot for rock
climbing.
