Holi

The festival of colors. One-to-two day window of throwing dyed powder. Spectacular to participate in but bring throwaway clothes and protect your camera.

Plan: Mathura/Vrindavan for the most intense experience; Udaipur, Jaipur for tourist-friendlier celebrations.

Crowds & pricing — March in Jaipur

Shoulder

Jaipur is in a shoulder season month — fewer crowds, slightly lower prices, and a calmer atmosphere than peak weeks. Most major sights stay open with normal hours, though a handful of seasonal restaurants or boat trips may run reduced schedules. Many regulars consider these months the best time to visit because you trade a small amount of weather reliability for a much more pleasant on-the-ground experience.
