Best Holi Celebrations In India with Oberoi Hotels & Resorts

Read Time: 4 Minutes

Holi in India is celebrated every year around the last full moon of the Phalguna month, which marks the beginning of spring in the traditional Hindu calendar. Holi 2026 falls on 4th March.

Where can I find the best Holi celebration in India?

The most famous Holi celebrations in India are concentrated in the north of the country. Delhi and Chandigarh tend to have more organised, ticketed events that offer a music festival-cum-colour party experience, while Jaipur, Agra and Shimla have large, colour-throwing street parties with dhol drummers and dancing. Because these cities are all within easy driving distance of each other, a multicity break over Holi 2026 is an attractive opportunity.
