Holi does not really need an introduction, isnt it? More than a festival, Holi is an event in India. A celebration that brings the entire country together and fill the hearts with joy and enthusiasm. Holi is a victory of good over evil, a beautiful riot of colors, a community affair and celebration of the traditional rituals in every nook of the country. There is bonfire, dancing, good food and a little naughtiness. Its a day when the social rules really dont apply much and no one is allowed to get offended because Holi Hai!
Arre machh gaya shor saari nagari main, saari nagri main!
Although the baseline is to go crazy and wild with folks and friends, these are some fun ways you can celebrate Holi in different Nagaris (cities) of India:

You might wish to wear your fake ray-bans, sip some wine and play Holi to look rich in your Instagram pictures and maybe you're too poor for all this. If this is your case, apply the Indian juggad, make friends with rich people, be their bestie and get invited to the pool party at their 'palaces' on Holi. Thats how its possible my friend!
