Every month of the year is packed with Indian festivals which are celebrated with excitement and lots of dancing, singing and feasting. Be it Durga Puja of West Bengal or the desert festivals of Rajasthan, a trip to India during a festival will leave you spellbound with charm. Imagine a romantic moment of splashing your partner with water colors at Holi, bursting firecrackers during Diwali and enjoying mouth-watering cakes and treats with your loved ones during Christmas. The Indian festivals are a time to celebrate life and are dedicated to religion, culture, music and more.
