The contrasting and colourful cultures of India make for an incredible experience for the visitors contemplating to book tickets on flights for holidays in India!

Durga Puja

Durga Puja, the grand festival of Eastern part of India celebrates the victory of goddess Durga over the buffalo-demon Mahisasura. This five-day period of worship is held around the months of September and October. Apart from being a divine event among Hindus, especially the Bengali community, it’s an occasion to rejoice in the traditional customs and culture.

Dussehra

Between the late September and early October, Indians celebrate the festival of Dussehra and expats actually struggle to get air tickets on India bound cheap flights to come home. According to Hindu mythology, the festival symbolise the victory of lord Rama over the ten-headed demon king Ravana. Though it is considered to be the major fest mostly in the northern part of India, it is celebrated with great dedication and zeal all over the country. Foreign tourists who book air tickets to visit the country here during Dussehra experience grand sight of the ‘Ram Leela’ and the ‘Burning Ravana’ with a background story of the Hindu epic ‘Ramayana’.

Diwali

Also known as the ‘festival of lights’, Diwali is perhaps the most popular event celebrated all over India. These festivities signify the victory of good over evil. The fire-crackers, oil lamps and candles, colourful rangolis (a traditional and colourful Indian art form) and the joy of being reunited with family and friends give flights to fancies of locals as well as international travellers taking holidays in India during October-November. This is the time when everybody looks for cheap deals on air tickets aboard flights to come home to celebrate this major fest with near and dear ones.
