TheĀ  festival of colours, Holi, is almost here. If wondering how and where to enjoy this vibrant festival, don't worry we have got you covered.

Here are 6 best places where you can celebrate the festival most authentically. Take a look.

Mathura and Vrindavan - Uttar Pradesh

Devotees of Lord Krishna and Radha travel from all over the world to celebrate the famous Braj ki Holi. Spanning over 10 days, the festival here in Vrindavan, Mathura, Barsana and Gokul are celebrated in different forms.

Varanasi - Uttar Pradesh

Holi in Varanasi is celebrated with great passion. People from all over the world gather at the banks of the Ganga, and the whole city is drenched in the colours of Holi.

Shantiniketan, West Bengal

Holi celebration in Bolpur-Shantiniketan, West Bengal, is the legacy of Nobel Laureate, Rabindranath Tagore, who started this spring festival. Unlike the other parts of the country, Holi celebration here is not just about playing colours but also includes honouring the rich culture and heritage.

Pushkar - Rajasthan

If you want to enjoy Holi in the wildest way, then my suggestion would be to go to Pushkar, Rajasthan. The whole town, roads, and even river banks transform into a big party place.

Hampi - Karnataka

If you are living in South India, then one place that you can visit for Holi is Hampi. Amidst the Vijayanagara temples, the Holi celebration in the town, situated on the banks of the Tungabhadra River is another level.

Goa

For Gen Z, Goa is the most modern place where you can drench in colours and celebrate the festival of happiness as you explore the city.
