Lake your pick

One thing that’s somewhat of a bother after playing Holi is getting the colours off your skin. No amount of washing and scrubbing helps, sometimes. But, what if you could jump straight into a lake after playing with the colours? How much less hassle, and more fun, would that entail? To find out, join a lakeside camping event
near Kamshet.

On March 21 and 22
At Kamshet (the exact location will be shared post booking).

Pool in your resources
A Bandra nightspot will take on a different, more colourful avatar this Holi. Take your friends along for a massive poolside party that will be held there, complete with sprinklers, organic colours, and a DJ playing thumping dance music. The place is a restaurant that sometimes masquerades as a nightclub too. So, expect both scrumptious food and heady booze, apart from groovy tunes and lots of colour,
of course.

On March 21, 10 am onwards
At Su Casa, Bombay Art Gallery, near KC Marg, General Arunkumar Vaidya Nagar, Bandra West.
