A day for sweethearts to express their feeling toward one another with cards, chocolate, flowers, gifts or a simple “I love you”.

Holi: the ‘Festival of Colour’ is a chaotic flurry of brightly coloured dust flying through the air coating everyone who plays. This major Hindu holiday is all about fun and letting loose in every town in India. Wear some clothes you can throw away and get stuck in the amazing fun of throwing colour on complete strangers.

Maharashtra Day celebrations of India’s statehood are held across the country, but one of the best places to enjoy the festivities is at Mumbai’s central Shivaji Park. A colourful parade, music, dancing and food all take place here.
