Holi Festival in India, March 2017 – Time to Color it Up!

In India, the coming of March means the celebration of colours. Holi, a spectacular festival that celebrates the victory of good over evil, the end of winter and the sweet arrival of spring. It is the day to come together with friends and family and play, laugh and give thanks to a good harvest.

The Holi Festival lasts for two days starting on the Purnima (Full Moon day) which falls this year on the 13th of March. The whole of India comes alive to celebrate this festival and if you’re planning on taking India tours from Sri Lanka, talk to an agent such as Jetwing Holidays; to make sure your travel coincides with the festival; as Holi is one not to be missed.
