HOO LI
Global Ilk decided to
celebrate Holi in Pushkar, India.
Pushkar is in the state of
Rajasthan in Northern India and is
one of Indias’ holy cities and it is
built around the Holy Pushkar lake.
We chose Pushkar based on
our research and some friends’
suggestions. It was on point. The
shanti town is one of community; no
alcohol, and no meat. Doesn’t get
much holier than that right? In
Pushkar, not much happens outside
of the festivals. But the town creates
a level of comfort which makes it a
difficult place to depart, so much so
that we stayed for an extra four days.
In Pushkar, Holi is
celebrated from 8:00 in the morning
until around 5:00 in the afternoon.
These people celebrate hard
and long with trance music,
dancing and so much colored
powder. We are happy to say that
in Pushkar very few people were
throwing water balloons or water
buckets, so you’re safe there. People
from all around north India come to
Pushkar to celebrate Holi. As they
should, it's absolutely mental. It's a
safe place to celebrate and no one in
our group had any issues.
Bhang is plentiful if that is
something you are into but over all
Holi in this magnificent city was a
sight to see so we will let our photos
do the talking.
