  4. Holi festival is the festival of joy. It is the day of counting the smiley faces and playing with colors. On this day, people visit family and friends and come together to throw colors on each other's faces. It is a day to dance all with pride and beat the drums or musical instruments while moving from place to place and dancing or singing all the way long. Celebrate and amazing Holi in Rishikesh!
