Holi 2023: Places To Visit In India During The Festival Of Colours

Shantiniketan: In Shantiniketan, West Bengal, Holi is celebrated as Basanta Utsav, or Spring Festival. Famous Bengali poet and Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore started this celebration as an annual occasion at his Vishva Bharati University in Shantiniketan. The Basanta Utsav celebrations at Vishva Bharati are very unique. Students perform beautiful folk dances and cultural events while decked up in yellow, and then they play with colours. The festivities, which begin one day before Holi, are now regarded as a significant aspect of Bengali culture. (Image Source: Instagram)

Udaipur: In Udaipur, Holi is utterly magnificent and regal. The Maharaja of Mewar greets distinguished visitors, foreign tourists, and numerous dignitaries to the Royal City Palace on the day of Holi. A bonfire is lit in the vast palace grounds as the Maharana comes for the celebration dressed traditionally. The blaze represents the victory of goodness over evil. Drums, folk dances, and songs are performed before a lavish supper, cocktail hour, and spectacular fireworks display. (Image Source: Getty)
