Oberoi Hotels & Resorts Invites Guests to Experience the Colorful World of India
After Punxsutawney Phil's prediction of an early spring, it's time for families to explore warmer shores and new experiences. The Spring Equinox, Passover, Easter and spring break all fall within the month of March this year; so why not try a unique and ancient means of celebrating the advent of spring?

Oberoi Hotels & Resorts invites guests to explore the exotic world of India during its most celebrated Festival of Holi. The ancient festival associated with the beginning of spring and hopes for a fruitful harvest is celebrated with an exhilarating all-day festival in which Indians, both young and old, celebrate in the streets by throwing colored powders and water at friends and passerby. The religious roots of the festival are found in the mythology concerning Lord Krishna and his beloved companion, Radha, and devotees of Lord Krishna spend the day celebrating his immortal love and youthful spirit. Singing, dancing and the eating of sweets continue through the day as laughing crowds dash through the streets, bright white smiles shining from beneath the vibrant powders. With properties in iconic cities such as Agra and Mumbai, guests visiting during the festival of Holi will truly experience a glimpse into the colorful world of India. This spring, revelers found weary after giving thanks for the glorious advent of spring can rejuvenate within Oberoi's haven of luxurious accommodations and world-class service.
