We advise you to visit India during one of its festivals if you want to get to know it a little better. Following that is a selection of festivals that will make your Golden Triangle trip successful. Enjoy every nugget of knowledge because you never know when India will call. 

Holi, Festival of Colors
Have you ever imagined using the colours of the rainbow to paint the entire world? If the answer is yes, then the Holi celebration in India is a wonderful opportunity for you. Although Holi is an auspicious occasion that is joyfully observed throughout the nation, Jaipur's Holi celebration is a little different and unusual. Holi is celebrated in Jaipur with all the regal splendour, much like everything else. It calls for a two-day gathering where the neighbourhood comes together and celebrates religion in its purest form.
Time: February to March 

Location: Delhi, Jaipur and Agra 

Taj Mahotsav, Agra 
Taj Mahotsav is a ten-day festival that honours old Indian life and culture against the stunning Taj Mahal as its backdrop. Numerous young artists get the chance to carry on their family tradition during this festival. A visit to Agra during the Taj Mahotsav is a sensory extravaganza for everyone who is making their first journey to India.

Kite Festival, Jaipur 
Every January, the International Kite Festival cannot be held in Jaipur due to the pristine blue skies being too encrusted with jewels. Thousands of eager people participate in the kite flying competition during this time of year. People go great distances to see this phenomenon since it is so popular across the nation. The Kite Festival is not only an exciting adventure, but it's also the ideal setting for friendships to form amongst people of any age, gender, or nationality.
Time: February 
Location: Jaipur - Pink City

Gangaur and Teej Festivals, Jaipur 
Rajasthan's cherished possessions are the Gangaur and Teej Festivals. Everything we adore about the state, from its dress to its elaborate customs, lies at its core. Teej heralds the start of the monsoon, whereas Gangaur begins the day after Holi. Out of which, Gangaur lasts for 18 days and is highly well-known among Rajasthani ladies.
Both of these celebrations honour Goddess Parvati and are centred on love and marriage. You will see a procession of ladies robbing Jaipur's streets during Gangaur, dressed in glitzy garb. Rajasthan is best exemplified by the Gangaur and Teej festivities. It's essential to add this festival to your bucket list via the Golden Triangle tour if you want to connect with its opulent legacy.

Jaipur Literature Festival (JLF), Jaipur 
Authors from India and overseas are invited to this three-day literary festival. At this gathering, book lovers from all around the world gather to read, talk about, ask questions and receive answers on the greatest literary works ever written. It's also amazing how many different stalls there are here offering everything from food to handicrafts. A lounge bar outside is also accessible for unwinding if you want small, laid-back settings. Additionally, there are musical concerts here in the evenings following each literary session.
