Holi in Braj: 9 days tour package 2025

Holi in Braj, often referred to as the “Festival of Colors,” is one of India’s most vibrant and cherished celebrations. Marked by joy, togetherness, and a riot of colors, it signifies the arrival of spring and the triumph of good over evil. Rooted in Hindu mythology, Holi commemorates the victory of devotion, as seen in the tale of Prahlada and the defeat of the demoness Holika. It’s also associated with the playful love of Radha and Krishna.

The festivities begin with Holika Dahan, a bonfire symbolizing the burning of negativity. The following day, people of all ages smear each other with colors, dance to lively music, and enjoy festive delicacies like gujiyas and thandai. Holi transcends social barriers, fostering unity and joy.

Celebrated with unmatched zeal across India, especially in Braj (Mathura and Vrindavan), Holi embodies the essence of happiness, love, and renewal.
