Unique Holi in Barsana

Holi in Barsana has its vibes. Barsana is believed to be the birthplace of Radha, whose love story with Krishna is revered by many. Legend has it that Krishna used to paint Radha with colours so that no one could differentiate between her fair complexion and his dark one. When Krishna and his friends arrived in Barsana, the ladies used to beat them playfully in defence of Radha. The famous Lathmar Holi in Barsana enacts the tale, as mentioned above, of Krishna and Radha. 

 

The women dress up as Gopis and Radha Ranis on the day of Holi and chase men with lathi sticks. Any man who gets caught is dressed up as a woman. All of this is done in jest, and women and men enjoy this Holi equally. Besides the Lathmar Holi, Barsana is also famous for its Laddu Holi at the Shriji Temple. Even though unique, the Holi celebrations in Barsana continue for a week and end with the famous gulal Holi. The giggling women pursuing the running men make others laugh as well. If you are not participating in the festivities, it is definitely one of the top sightseeing in Barsana.
