The Holi festival celebrates the onset of spring and renewal. Coming forth with the full flush of life, the invigorating air of Holi festivities spreads into the lives of people throughout the year.
Being a festival camp, the major focus of this camp is on leisure and enjoy festivities. However, with an initial orientation on festivals, you will get chance to participate in our ongoing humanitarian actions like Non formal education, women empowerment initiatives, environment conservation, waste upcycling, organic farming etc and have an interaction with local communities to encourage cross cultural exchanges and provide a deeper insight of our culture. The major festival will be attended to on 14th March when you will play with colors.
