Lathmar Holi

Another unique way to celebrate the festival of colours or Holi is Lathmar Holi. Holi is generally celebrated by throwing colours at one another! However, Lathmar Holi has a different tradition; where women use bamboos to sue men away when they charge at them with colours. The ground becomes a fun battlefield where men, women and children engage in the celebration of colours and at the same time show off their agility with the bamboo. This is an extremely fun festival to be part of but you will have more fun if you are in the audience. Another compelling reason to be part of this festival is its amazing assortment of food both sweet and savoury.
