Holi in Lucknow has a “poetic” touch compared to the rowdy celebrations elsewhere.
- Date (2026): March 3, 2026.
- The Tradition: In neighborhoods like Hazratganj, you’ll see “Kavi Sammelans” (poetic gatherings) alongside the colors. A unique local tradition is the Holi Barat, a playful mock wedding procession that brings the whole community together in a riot of colors and music.
