Festivals are the perfect time to rejoice and a great excuse to spend some quality time with family and friends. From Makar Sankranti to Lohri and from Pongal to Magh Bihu, the first festivals of the year are celebrated across India on January 14. While each of them has its own history and significance, this festival is one of the most auspicious occasions for Hindus as it heralds a change of season – marks the end of winter and the beginning of the harvest season where new crops are cherished and worshipped. The festival also symbolises the end of negatives and the significance of righteousness. Not to forget, festivals naturally make you want something new or to rediscover a destination from another angle. Keeping that in mind, we have compiled a list of luxurious travel destinations that you must visit. Take a look:
