Usually, Holi is celebrated in India continuously for two days. However, teenagers and children start playing with water guns and balloons almost a week prior from the festival. The first day of Holi is celebrated by burning a mountain of tree trunks and cow dung cakes, which is a sign of destroying all the bad within and around you in the holy fire. With this holy fire kick starts the festival of colours, where people greet each other by applying colours on each other’s face. Homemade sweets are distributed amongst neighbours, friends, and relatives. You can relish all these delicacies during your family vacations in India, when celebrating Holi with the lovely Indians. On the second day of the festivity, people dressed in white clothes come out of their houses to get completely drenched in colours and also water these days. Sprinkling colours and water on one another, savouring sweets, and drinking the specially prepared dry fruit milk sums up to a wonderful Holi celebration in India.
