Holi in India is an extremely wonderful festival. On holi, I once went to Jaipur, one of the most beautiful cities in India. The people here crazily play with colors, dance and sing. The hotel Dera Mandawa that I stayed in, had made wonderful arrangements for holi celebrations, and I thoroughly enjoyed playing with colors and water sprays. It was a great fun there.
