India's Colorful Festival at JSN Campus on August

There are almost as many festivals in India as there is a number of Gods. And each festival is more colorful than the other. While every festival in India is worth participating in, there are some you just cannot miss.

Holi – a riot of colours. Every year, between the months of February and March, the streets of India come alive with a riot of colours. Holi, like most other festivals of India, is celebrated to mark the triumph of good over evil. The festival also marks the onset of the spring season. In most parts of India, the celebration of the festival starts almost a week in advance. You should look on the streets for water balloons and colour, as you may be targeted anywhere and everywhere.

It is a fun festival which brings together people of all ages. For the best Holi experience in India, head to Mathura which witnesses week-long celebrations.
