Holi Festival in India – A festival of colours!

For Indians and especially Hindus living world over, Holi is a major festival that’s celebrated among family and friends. The Holi Festival takes place over a period of 16 days and celebrates the divine love between much venerated Gods, Radha and Krishna. It usually symbolizes the beginning of spring, the season of hope and joy. The Holi festival will commence on 13th March, 2017 and will start off with the traditional ‘Holika Dahan’ or the lighting of bonfires. Holi has grown to become one of the most anticipated events among Hindus and non-Hindus too within India as well as the country’s neighbours including Sri Lanka. For Sri Lankans looking to enjoy this festival, there are many Sri Lanka travel agents such as Jetwing Holidays who craft customized tours to India. Such tours include details on the Holi festivals that are organized in the area that you will be visiting, and would be a delightful addition to any itinerary.
