Holi in Mumbai.
A morning of colour, and a car ready for it — seats covered, towels and water waiting — so the only thing you think about is the gulal.

Dates follow the Hindu and Islamic calendars and move each year; the house checks them against the panchang and the moon-sighting before writing your journey. Eid is confirmed only the evening before.
Holi in Mumbai is a morning festival: colour in every society’s compound and on the beaches from early morning, and quiet again by the afternoon. The house takes you to the gathering and, more importantly, home from it.
A car made for colourOn Holi the seats are covered and the floor laid with mats, so you can sit down as you are. Towels and water are in the cabin.
Natural colour, pleaseThe house asks guests to keep wet colour outside the car; dry, natural gulal is welcome.
Holika DahanThe bonfires of the evening before burn in compounds and at street corners; the house plans your route around them.
Reserve for HoliWrite where the colour is, and when you would like to leave.
