2 Days Holi Tour Plan

Detail Itinerary

• Day 1, Friday, Holika Dahan at Dwarkadhish Temple Dola and Mathura Vishram Ghat:

  On arrival at Mathura Railway Station, transfer to Mathura Hotel, where you will check-in. Holika Dahan is an important event celebrated with great enthusiasm and excitement that heralds the arrival of Holi. It involves the burning of an effigy on a pyre to symbolize the marking of the victory of good over evil. The ritual originates from the Hindu legend where Hiranyakashyap, an evil king, tried to kill his son Prahlad for his steadfast devotion toward Lord Vishnu. He sought Holika's help, who had been granted a boon that made her fireproof and commanded her to take Prahlad in her lap and sit in fire. However, as soon as Holika entered the flame, she burnt down, and Prahlad emerged unscathed - this is why today we observe this ceremony in reverence for goodness and justice. During Holika Dahan, families are reunited around festive bonfires to sing hymns, worship, and enhance their spiritual connection. It truly serves as an apt reminder to us all that if righteousness prevails, even the worst demons can be destroyed.

• Day 2, Dhulandi Holi: Abir Gulal Holi & Dwarkadheesh Tesu Flowers

  Holi Dhulandi - This is the time of the year when everyone gets together at the mystical land of Braj and indulges in a symphony of colors. Holi connects and brings joy and happiness by spreading smiles all around. The vibrant shades of red, green, blue, pink, and purple fill the air to remind us that it's Holi time again! As people greet each other with 'Abir' or 'Gulal', they get into moods that bring out their inner child. Add to this the loud crescendos of 'Happy Holi' chants surging through the streets along with Tolis (group) in high spirits; one can easily make out why Braj Holi is celebrated enthusiastically all over the world! Join us for this extravaganza as we honor this beautiful tradition and be part of something extraordinary.
