Festivals and events worth timing your visit

Diwali, the festival of lights, typically falls in October or November. Holi, the Hindu festival of colors, is celebrated in March. Makar Sankranti, the kite flying festival, is celebrated in January. Ram Navami, celebrating the birth of Lord Rama, occurs in March or April.

What to pack
For a winter trip to Orai (November to January), pack warm clothing, including sweaters, jackets, and shawls, as the nights can get quite cold. Comfortable walking shoes are essential for exploring the city and nearby attractions. During the monsoon season (late June to September), carry rain gear such as an umbrella or raincoat. Lightweight cotton clothes are suitable for the summer months (March to June). Modest clothing is advisable when visiting religious sites.
Saving money
