9 Great Places To Celebrate Holi
Holi is the festival of colours that fills our life with vibrant shades of gulaal. The basic idea to celebrate Holi is to put some colours into your life. Indian festivals have deep rooted philosophy behind them. Just like Diwali is a celebration of light, we celebrate Holi for its fun and colours. But is no fun playing Holi with people who do not like to get messy. You have to be willing to get your hands dirty to celebrate Holi properly.
That is why there are some really good places to play Holi. Some of these places to play Holi are historically famous. For example, Braj Barsana is the village of the mythical Radha. In this place, Holi is celebrated with a peculiar custom. All the women of the village beat up the men with sticks in jest.
Other places to play Holi like Mumbai are famous due to the presence of many celebrities. Bollywood celebrates Holi in style every year. Holi is celebrated not just in India but even abroad. For example, the Indian community in Singapore celebrates Holi on the nearest weekend.
