Festivals and events worth timing your visit

Holi, the festival of colors, occurs in March, with playful celebrations involving colored powder and water. Navratri is celebrated in October with nine nights of dance and devotional music.
What to pack
During October to February, pack light woolens or shawls for the evenings. Cotton clothing is suitable for daytime. Comfortable walking shoes are essential for exploring the city and nearby attractions. Sunscreen, sunglasses, and a hat are advisable for sun protection. An umbrella or raincoat is useful, even outside the monsoon, as unexpected showers can occur. When visiting temples, dress modestly, covering shoulders and knees.
Saving money
The cheapest months for flights and hotels are generally during the monsoon season (June to September), with potential savings of 20-30%. Look for budget accommodations in areas slightly away from the city center, such as near Kalyan station. Utilize local transport like auto-rickshaws and local trains for cost-effective commuting. Street food around the railway station offers affordable and tasty meal options. Booking flights and accommodations 4-6 weeks in advance can lead to better deals.
