In India, Holi announces the arrival of spring and the passing of winter. The festival breathes an atmosphere of social merriment. People bury their hatchets with a warm embrace and throw their worries to the wind. Every nook and corner presents a colourful sight. Young and old alike are covered with colours (red, green, yellow, blue, black and silver). People in small groups are seen singing, dancing and throwing colours on each other.

Our Activities:

🎨 Throw Colours: Embrace the spirit of joy as we splash vibrant colours in the air, spreading positivity and happiness.

🧘‍♀ Yoga & Meditation: Find your inner peace and rejuvenate your senses with calming yoga and meditation sessions.

💅 Henna & Face Painting: Unleash your creative side with mesmerizing henna art and face painting, adding a touch of beauty to your day.

🌱 Plant-Based Delights: Savour the delectable flavours of plant-based food, prepared with love and care for a mindful dining experience.

👧 Kids’ Activities: Let the little ones have a blast with specially curated activities, ensuring smiles all around.

🌞 Experience the magic of this cultural celebration in the heart of nature, surrounded by like-minded souls. Bring your friends and family to share the joy together!

IMPORTANT INFO:

* Drugs, Alcohol, Smoking

These are not permitted on the Festival & Krishna Eco Farm grounds (there are designated smoking areas outside the grounds of the Farm)

* Children

It is a family friendly event & we have designated area for kids. However children need to be supervised by parent or guardian at all times.

* Dress code

The dry powders supplied are non-toxic, however they may stain hair & clothes, so festival goers are cautioned not to wear their “Saturday best”. Participants are recommended to dress in casual, white clothes to fully capture the experience of Holi.

* For dog owners

While our colours are non-toxic, due to the sensitivity of a dog’s respiratory system, colour powder may cause nasal irritation and possibly allergy. They also tend to lick their body, and the taste of dry colours makes them prone to throwing up. We do not ban the dogs, however if you do bring your pet, you would need to keep them away from the colours & we won’t be held responsible if your pet gets ill.

Looking forward to seeing you!

Kind regards,

Festival of Colours Team
