Panaji (Goa)/IBNS: One of the best places to spend Holi is India's sunshine state of Goa where residents celebrate the traditional Shigmo festival as well as Holi.

While the Shigmo celebration is best observed in the various villages, the urban centres are also catching up fast.

This year Shgmo is on March 7.

While there, on March 8, you may also turn up at the Istaka, the cocktail bar by 3102bce - a Vedic resort in Vagator, for a holi-themed party.

This cocktail bar in Goa is hosting a Sundowner Bollywood Holi party with DJ Rahul in the house.

There will also be a rain dance and organic colour party.

The programme is scheduled to start at 4pm on March 8; entry  Rs 200 per person
