Holi, the festival to cherish, the festival of colours, the festival that marks the beginning of spring and most importantly that marks brotherhood among all. Holi, the festival celebrates the eternal and divine love of Radha and Krishna signifying the triumph of good over evil.

India is a country of diversity where every festival is celebrated with utmost enthusiasm and when it comes to Holi Kolkata definitely knows how to rock the floor with those amazing colours. Where on earth would you find anymore grace than in the streets of Kolkata. From retro to the gen Z Kolkata and its people are always there to fill you with colours.

Talking about that, did you know before the Holi actually arrives each year, the madness and the craze is all around. The best part of which is when a vintage Rolls Royce begins the procession in style from a temple in Howrah and crosses the entire Howrah Bridge. It enters the streets of Calcutta through the congested lanes of Burrabazar marking the beginning of the show and stunning the Howrah Bridge still with people head over heels for the love of colours. Here around a few 100 people start the procession and it doubles no sooner than it crosses another lane bulking up its journey. Almost a hand full of 2500+ people eventually joins the procession around a stretch of 10 km making the event a grand success. On this Holi I've seen Kolkata rejoice the colour of nature, purifying every soul with love and colours.

Come together lets celebrate the festival of colours with Kolkata and some more sweetness.
