India Tour March 2020
The special thing on this tour is Holi Celebration. The celebration was happened in my relative's house. On the day before Holi, they performed a ceremony called "Narapora". Here, they build a house with straws (Nara), then they burned that said "Aj amader narapora, kal amader dol, purnimate Chad utheche, bolo horibol " at the time of burning. They made a lot of fun with the event and took preparations for the Dola Festival, what was happened on the next day.

Shopping for Holli brought out another festival. There are a lot of shops were set in the corners of roads during Holli time where different things are found including colors, traditional water cannon, water ballons, piskiri, masks and pressure guns. The shops were set for about a month. Although the Holi is for three days, the sellers started selling much earlier. We went around the shops at dusk. Me and my relatives went out for shopping and had a lot of shopping. Then we ate some light snacks and Fuska.

The drum players have come out and they would be playing drums throughout the colony. Meanwhile, Holi is being played all over India. Some are playing with water cannons and some are playing with water balloons. Colorful atmosphere on all sides brother and sister posing for pictures. There is another kind of joy in them.

These are some of my earliest memories of Satimar dol mela( Holi fair). Held annually on the day of dol purnima, or the day of Holi in Ghoshpara, a locality of Kalyani city in the Nadia district of West Bengal (around two hours from the state capital Kalkata), it is considered to be one of the oldest and one-of-it's kind event in the state.

A month fair was held at the Ghoshpara mela ground, which houses sati maa's residence, which has been converted from a modest hut to a revered shrine. Devotees from outside the town start arriving a day before the festival, and the ground comes alive with over 500 stalls selling everything: from mouthwatering local food, such indigenous crafts as bamboo cane decorative objects, wicker baskets and terracotta pottery to bags, toys and even costume jewellery.

The celebration on the eve of the festival, celebrations begin with folk performances by artistes from withen the state and from across India. Devotianal songs of bauls and fakirs set the tone for the festivities. I recall sitting at the akharas (temporary tents setup by folk artistes, mostly bauls), munching on hot jilipis (or jalebi, a deep-fried dessert).

For a long while I wished to have a Forest Tour in India. This time I came with a Forest Tour. It was my first forest tour and I enjoyed it very much.Forestry in India is more than just about wood and fuel. India has a thriving non-wood forest products industry, which produces latex, gums, resins, essential oils, flavours, fragrances and aroma chemicals, incense sticks, handicrafts, thatching materials and medicinal plants. About 60% of non-wood forest products production is consumed locally. About 50% of the total revenue from the forestry industry in India is in non-wood forest products category. In 2002, non-wood forest products were a source of significant supplemental income to over 400 million people in India, mostly rural.talk about travelling a lot. So now I am going to talk about food. This is a list of Indian sweets and desserts, also called mithai, a significant element in Indian cuisine. This list contains food pertaining to Pakistan and Bangladesh. Many Indian desserts are fried foods made with sugar, milk or condensed milk. Ingredients and preferred types of dessert vary by region. For example, in the eastern part of India, most are based on milk products. Many are flavoured with almonds and pistachios, spiced with cardamon, nutmeg, cloves and black pepper, and decorated with nuts or with gold or silver leaf.
