Holi Party Celebration Near Mumbai

What are you doing for Holi this year? Holi is just around the corner and most people are already busy making plans for the big day. However, with so many options for a Holi party near Mumbai, it is hard to know what to do and where to go. Here is a rough guide to finding the best Holi party in resorts near Mumbai.

Holi Morning

Holi begins at home. Most people like to wake up early and take a special shower, which is followed by a liberal application of oil or cream to protect their skin and hair from harsh colours and permanent chemical dyes. If you are planning to play with colours, this is a prudent precaution.

Some people then like to perform a small puja ceremony to pay respect to the gods and pray for the special day to be blessed. Some Holi puja ceremonies end with a tikka and a symbolic application of gulal to signal the start of Holi festivities

Holi Day

After the morning rituals, people usually like to get together with friends and family to wish them a Happy Holi and to make plans for the day. Once a sufficient contingent of participants is assembled, the tendency is to pile into a car, which has been specially protected with plastic sheets and drive out to go party hopping.

Be sure to carry plastic baggies to protect your phone, wallet and other valuables that are not waterproof. It is also advisable to carry playing colours, a bucket full of water balloons and a water spray gun to play Holi with others.

Along the way, you can visit friends and relatives to wish them and also pick them up if they want to come along for the ride. In many localities, there is usually a spot or park that is designated for playing Holi. Depending on the mood and situation, you may decide to stop at some of these spots.

You can also stop by some parties and events depending on your preferences. One of the best and most promising events this year seems to be the Holi Party at Visava Amusement Park and Resort in Panvel. This is one of the best Holi celebration resorts in Panvel near Mumbai  and is hosting the “Rang Barse: Festival of Color”.

Holi Evening

Holi is celebrated all day in India and the evening celebrations are even more fun. By the evening, many people have already taken their showers and do not want to play with colours or with water but are more interested in drinking, eating, socializing and sharing stories about the day.

After a strenuous and active day, people tend to gorge on some good, festive food at teatime. Special dishes are usually prepared on Holi and are a treat for even the most calorie-conscious partygoer.

Many of the Holi parties continue onto the night with performances, stalls, games and music. If you are at one of these festivals, do not leave early. Make sure that you participate in the after-party and wind down your Holi in style.

As mentioned above, one of the best events on Holi this year is the Rang Barse festival at Visava Amusement Park and Resort. This is an all-day festival that costs Rs. 1499 for adults and Rs. 999 for children.

The price includes breakfast, lunch and high tea at the event along with a live DJ, safe playing colours and a fun and safe family-friendly environment. If you are planning to play Holi this year, be sure to check out this event.
