[annijohnson]

My husband and I just planing a holidays in Delhi.we will be in Delhi during the time of the Holi Festival. We are pretty adventurous and it sounds like it could be a very fun time!

Does anyone have any suggestions as to whether we should participate or not? We obviously would not have any valuables on us and we'd wear old clothes, etc.

Holi is a religious spring festival celebrated by Hindus as a festival of colours. It is primarily observed in India and Nepal. It is observed by the minority Hindus in Bangladesh and Pakistan as well in countries with large Indic diaspora populations following Hinduism, such as Suriname, Malaysia, Guyana, South Africa, Trinidad and Tobago, the United Kingdom, the United States, Mauritius, and Fiji. It is also known as Phagwah , Festival of Colours, or Doḷajātra in Odisha, and as Dol Jatra or Basantotsav in West Bengal and Assam. Holi is of particular significance in the Braj region, which includes locations traditionally connected to the Lord Krishna: Mathura, Vrindavan, Nandagaon, and Barsana, which become tourist destinations during the season of Holi.
