Footloose and fancy-free: some 'Holiday Moods' of the Indian woman traveller

Today is indeed a unique day. We usher in Holi with a dash of bright hues. And we also inch toward International Women's Day (March 8) with the UN campaign on 'Empowering Women, Empowering Humanity: Picture it!' theme.

Take a look around you and it's easy to judge how women find happiness in community initiatives by bringing prosperity within their family, work organisations and friend circles.

We bring to you women's secret holiday experiences and varied Holi traditions in India. So, pick some gulaal and fill up your pichkari to play Holi in desi style. You can tune into the bold moves of Indian women (we are talking of action-packed sporty holidays).

WOW Factor!

March 8 marks the International Women's Day with Women Empowerment as the United Nations theme for 2015.
