Pushkar goes houseful on Holi rush, extended weekend

Pushkar Holi Celebrations: Pushkar saw a surge in tourists during Holi and the extended weekend, making it a sold-out destination and raising hotel rates by 25-30 per cent. The inflow of foreign tourists also increased, especially in March. However, other destinations in Rajasthan experienced subdued growth, partly due to a stock market slump and competition from Ayodhya and Prayagraj.
