Holi is the vibrant festival of colours that is widely celebrated in India for the arrival of spring, renewal, hope and new beginnings. However, modern-day celebrations of such festivals are quite big and contain modern elements like music, dancing, food, drinks and many more. Hence, no party is complete with dishes and drinks for people to enjoy while playing with colours.

Even though a majority of Indians are vegetarian there is also a great portion of people who prefer non-vegetarian as their source of protein. Hence, if you plan on hosting a party, you should be mindful about catering to both vegetarian and non-vegetarian guests and leave no one unhappy, especially with the flooding food and drinks, because that is what makes the celebration more fun.
