One of the most popular forms of Holi in India is the one where men are seen covering their heads with repeated repetition of lathis (sticks) by women. This tradition is prevalent in areas like Vrindavan, Mathura, Barsana and Nandgaon.
yosang
Yosang, celebrated for six days in Manipur, involves taking out processions around a bamboo hut and deities and devotees. In the initial days the air is filled with chants and hymns and finally, on the last day, the bamboo huts that house the idols are burnt. After this, people play with colors and dance while singing praises of Lord Krishna.

Celebrated with fervor every year on the shores of Goa, Shigmo is a 14-day traditional festival that marks the arrival of spring. Farmers happily welcome the season and play with colors amidst music and cheer.
