" The colorful festival of Holi is celebrated on Phalgun Purnima which comes in February end or early March. Holi festival has an ancient origin and celebrates the triumph of 'good' over 'bad'. The colorful festival bridges the social gap and renew sweet relationships. On this day, people hug and wish each other 'Happy Holi'."
This is a private PARTY on an estate outside of Delhi.
If someone in India asks you to go to their "farmhouse" as happened to us in Jaipur...don't refuse as we did in Jaipur.
In Delhi at least I knew the businessman well and if he wasnted me to see his farmhouse I was happy to go. He had two.
A "Farmhouse" in India is NOT like Americans think of them.
My business acquaintance owned two palatial estates that blew me away with the WEALTH and DESIGN of the estates.
The "Farmhouse" visits were on the festival of Holi, see link.
It gets crazy on that day.
The police, if they can, stay hidden in their police stations, it gets that crazy in large cities.
There was a group of musicians, catered food, everyone splashes everyone with colored water...well, I used my hobby of photography for begging off from being splashed; as the "party" needed to be recorded on film which water ruins.
