A Celebration of Colours
Holi in Kerala or Kashmir
Holi is more than a festival, it is a sacred symphony of colours, love, and renewal. A joyous ode to spring, it signifies the victory of light over darkness, of love over fear, and of good over evil, as told in the legend of Holika, the fire goddess.
This Holi, embark on a journey of ritual, reflection, and rejoicing at Neeleshwar Hermitage in Kerala or Qayaam Gah in Kashmir. Feel the spirit of the festival unfold with a traditional puja ceremony, the sacred lighting of the Holika bonfire, and the joyful scattering of organic colours, a symbolic act of releasing the past and embracing new beginnings.
Celebrate in places where nature and divinity intertwine, on Kerala’s golden shores, where the rhythm of the waves echoes the pulse of the universe, or in Kashmir’s mystical mountains, where the silence of the Himalayas whispers ancient wisdom.
