In reply to Heather on her travels. In India, there's never a good time to be in a hurry ;) Being on time anywhere is nearly impossible.

Thank you and hope you have a wonderful trip – and guessing by your blog name you’ll be heading to Rishikesh at some point 😉

Thanks for the great post on festivals in Mumbai! We bought a one way ticket to Mumbai leaving Jan 28th! We plan to travel around India for a month or so before heading over to Southeast Asia.
Love your blog!

Hi Gerard,
Both Holi and Diwali are widely celebrated in Delhi and northern India. On the other hand, Gudhi Padwa would be virtually absent, while Ganesh Chaturthi and Navratri would be a bit muted compared to Mumbai.

Unfortunately I haven’t visited Delhi enough to know about other big religious festivals and a google search wasn’t conclusive enough. The biggest crowd pullers are “national” celebrations such as Republic day (Jan 26) and Independence day (Aug 15).

hope that helps, happy holi in advance!
Priyank.
