March 10: Holi At Vrindavan

The information in this post might be outdated

Whenever you watch a Sanjay Leela Bhansali movie, the urge to participate in a Holi celebration that larger than life makes you want to travel to Vrindavan. This temple town in Uttar Pradesh is quite literally drenched in colours. People on the streets are first coloured and then greeted, but the festivities here begin right after Makar Sankranthi. These festivities lead to the main events of Holi and are celebrated for a few more days after. Since Holi is on a Tuesday, take leave on Monday, and make it a really long weekend of colours!
