Holi Festival, Jaipur, India

Jaipur, capital of northwest India’s
Rajasthan state, owes its “Pink City” nickname to terra-cotta-hued
building facades within the Old City walls. Each spring, a tide of
raucous revelers magnifies the Technicolor-like glow during the frenetic
city’s Holi celebrations. Heralding the arrival of spring, Holi—the
Hindu “Festival of Colors”—is marked throughout India and around the
world (beginning March 27 this year). In traveler-friendly Rajasthan—Land
of Kings—locals and visitors jubilantly join impromptu and organized
color eruptions. Prepare to be doused with brightly tinted powders and
scented water. Long-sleeve shirts, pants, and a layer of sun block help
minimize skin staining, but count on tossing your clothes at festival’s
end. Jaipur ushers in Holi with its annual Elephant Festival
March 26. Held at the Jaipur polo grounds, the festivities include
elephant polo and tug-of-war matches, as well as a parade of elaborately
painted pachyderms. Splurge on a luxury tent at the Oberoi Rajvilas to soak your Holi colors away in a vintage, claw-foot tub.See More Coloful Photos of India >>
