Though Christmas is more popular worldwide because of its glitz and lively vibe, the true essence of Christianity lies in Easter. Marking the resurrection of Jesus Christ, Easter is seen as the harbinger of new life, hope and joy. In 2023, Easter Sunday falls on April 9.
Lavish celebrations are held in places like Goa, Maharashtra and the North Eastern States of India. Therefore, many people travel to enjoy the Easter celebrations.
Since the Easter Long Weekend puts everyone in a holiday mood, many people plan weekend getaways. To celebrate Easter, you can travel to these top five destinations in India.
