The entire village participates, engaging in folk dances like the Nati and Chudka, and playing traditional music on instruments like the dhol and shehnai.

For visitors, Sangla offers an authentic and unforgettable experience of Indian tradition, where the majestic landscapes and vibrant celebrations create a magical atmosphere, making Holi in Spiti Valley a must-experience event.
