Masan Holi

Masan Holi is a special tradition unique to Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, known as the “City of Moksha.” While Holi typically symbolizes joy and renewal with colors, Masan Holi adds a distinctive twist by honoring the cycle of life and death.

During Masan Holi, ashes, colors, and the rhythmic beat of the damru create a mesmerizing spectacle, celebrating both life’s vibrancy and its inevitable end. Unlike the lively chaos of Holi in Vrindavan, Masan Holi is known for its safety and inclusivity, attracting visitors from around the world.

In Varanasi, where spirituality and everyday life converge, Masan Holi stands as a unique and unforgettable celebration, reflecting the city’s timeless allure and cultural richness.
