Holi’s festivities vary across regions, each adding its unique flavor to the celebration:

Known for their historical association with Lord Krishna, these towns host elaborate events, including the famous Lathmar Holi, where women playfully ‘beat’ men with sticks, recreating age-old traditions.

Cities like Jaipur, Pushkar, and Udaipur come alive with street parties, traditional music, and dance performances, offering a slightly calmer yet equally enchanting experience for visitors.

The Dangs Darbar is a three-day cultural festival coinciding with Holi, where tribal communities gather to perform traditional dances and music, showcasing the rich cultural tapestry of the region.

Wear old, preferably white clothing to fully embrace the colorful ambiance, keeping in mind that the colors may not wash out completely.
