Anyways, anybody in benaras during holi.. ?? Holi in Benaras is unique.. its so very different from other places in india. It starts with one full month of abusing ppl..  .. then the regular spraying of colorful water on anyone and everyone on the D-Day. and then that "Hasya Kavi Sammelan" (Gathering of poets) at Assi ghat where all kinda adult humour is thrown in from the podium in poetic words....!! I dunno if any of the tourist will be able to understand anything but if anyone knows some hindi or bhojpuri.. don't miss it !! (Strictly for GUYS only) |

Varanasi is--without doubt--the craziest place I've ever been. Sadly, despite the wonderful streets and ghats, I think the city has sold itself to tourism more than any other city that I have been to in India. Too many touts. Too many touts.  |

); laugh or talk uncontrollably for hours after having lots of bhang. So if you do get it, better not to have too much.
