The colours of devotion: understanding the different faces of Holi
Holi is far more than a “festival of colours”; it is a spiritual renewal. In the villages of Barsana and Nandgaon, the tradition of Lathmar Holi sees women playfully striking men with sticks, a ritual reflecting the divine play of Lord Krishna.
In contrast, our Tribal Holi in Gujarat is a raw, spontaneous celebration of life and ancestry, featuring hypnotic dances and the spectacular spinning pole ritual. For those seeking deep spiritual immersion, the ash-based Masan Holi in Varanasi provides a profound reminder of the cycle of life. Each region offers a different face of devotion, and we ensure you experience them with respect and safety.
