From March 3rd to March 5th, 2026, guests will be transported into a world where ancient rituals, joyous celebrations, and serene riverside moments create memories that last a lifetime.
The Sacred Beginning: Day One Arrival
Your Holi celebration begins the moment you arrive at Evaara by the Ganges on March 3rd, 2026, from 2:00 PM onwards. Unlike typical hotel check-ins, your arrival is transformed into a traditional Indian welcome ceremony that sets the tone for the spiritual journey ahead. As you step into the property, you’ll be greeted with the ancient rituals of Aarti, where traditional lamps create an atmosphere of divine energy. The ceremonial Tikka applied to your forehead symbolizes blessings and good fortune, while fresh garlands draped around your neck represent the warmth of Indian hospitality. To refresh you after your journey, specially prepared detox water infused with traditional herbs awaits, cleansing and rejuvenating your senses.
After this auspicious welcome, indulge in an elaborate Indian buffet lunch at Satvaraasa, the resort’s multi-cuisine restaurant. Here, culinary artistry meets traditional flavors, offering an extensive spread of regional delicacies prepared by expert chefs who understand that food is not merely sustenance but an integral part of cultural celebration. From aromatic biryanis to delicate curries, from fresh rotis to regional specialties, every dish tells a story of India’s rich gastronomic heritage.
The afternoon unfolds at your leisure, allowing you to explore the various facets of Evaara by the Ganges. The property offers numerous attractions perfect for creating those picture-perfect moments. Visit the specially designed selfie points that capture the essence of the Ganges and the surrounding landscape. Relax in the elegant gazebo overlooking the river, where you can sit in quiet contemplation or engage in meaningful conversations with fellow travelers. The swimming pool provides a refreshing escape, while the sports zone caters to those seeking more active pursuits. Perhaps most enchanting are the Ganga-facing lawns, where you can simply sit and absorb the peaceful energy that flows from the sacred river.
As evening approaches, the atmosphere at Evaara by the Ganges transforms. The evening Hi Tea features cutting chai served at a traditional stall near the Ganga Ghat, offering an authentic experience that connects you with the local culture. There’s something magical about sipping steaming tea while watching the sun cast golden hues across the river’s surface.
The spiritual crescendo of Day One arrives with the Ganga Aarti at the resort’s private ghat. This ancient ritual, performed daily along the Ganges, becomes even more special when experienced in the intimate setting of Evaara’s riverside location. As priests move lit lamps in rhythmic circles, as bells chime and conch shells resonate, as devotional songs fill the air, you’ll feel connected to centuries of spiritual tradition. The flames dancing against the darkening sky, reflected in the flowing waters, create a visual symphony that touches something deep within the soul.
Following the Ganga Aarti, the celebration continues with Holika Dahan, the traditional bonfire that marks the triumph of good over evil. According to Hindu mythology, Holika, the demon sister of King Hiranyakashipu, was burned to ashes when she attempted to kill the devotee Prahlad. This ritual bonfire on the eve of Holi symbolizes the burning of negativity and the welcoming of positive energy. Gathered around the flames with other guests, sharing stories and laughter, you’ll experience the communal joy that defines Indian festivals.
The day concludes with a sumptuous multi-cuisine buffet dinner at Satvaraasa restaurant, where international flavors complement traditional Indian dishes, ensuring every palate finds satisfaction.

These traditional gulal colors, derived from flowers and herbs, connect you to the authentic way Holi has been celebrated for generations, before the advent of synthetic colors.
The rain dance setup adds an exhilarating dimension to the color play.
