Question 1

What is the weather like in Delhi in March?

Accepted Answer

March in Delhi sits in that in-between zone where winter has clearly gone, but the furnace hasn’t fully switched on yet. Mornings can still be pleasant, though afternoons warm up quickly and the air starts to feel dry, dusty, and more urban. Trees bloom in patches, and there’s a brief sense of color in gardens and avenue plantings before the harsher heat takes over. It’s still workable for sightseeing, especially early in the day, but shade matters more. You’ll want water, sunglasses, and a flexible plan. The city feels busier, slightly louder, and a bit more restless.

Question 2

What events and things to do in Delhi in March?

Accepted Answer

March is strongly associated with Holi, one of Delhi’s most visible and memorable festivals. The city fills with color powders, sweets like gujiya, music, and neighborhood celebrations, though as a traveler it’s best to choose organized events or trusted hosts because the public version can get intense and chaotic very fast. Depending on the lunar calendar, Holika Dahan bonfires may happen the evening before, creating a more symbolic, atmospheric moment. March can also overlap with the end of the school and university event season, so cultural programs and fairs often cluster before the heat of April and May takes over.

Question 3

Is March a good time to visit Delhi?

Accepted Answer

March is great if you want energy, color, and a less predictable trip. It’s ideal for travelers who don’t mind a little mess and want to experience Delhi beyond the usual monument circuit. Holi is a real highlight, but only if you’re comfortable with crowds and some chaos. If you prefer calm, this may not be your month. I’d say go for it if you’re curious and adaptable. Just don’t underestimate how hot the afternoons can feel by the end of the month.
