This western state of India never ceases to amaze!
With its diverse topography and a splash of vibrant green cover during monsoon, Maharashtra has a lot more to offer. Known for celebrating “Ganesh Chaturthi” with an opulence that can only be matched with the celebration of Durga Puja in West Bengal, Maharashtra is ready to take “celebrating festivals” to a whole new level by hosting 15 festivals over a period of one year across Maharashtra!! This initiative has been taken by the Maharashtra government in a bid to attract tourists throughout the year.
All these festivals will be celebrated in various religious, cultural and historical places. And here is the calendar of the festivals so that you all can plan your trip around it and make the most of your trip!
