Barsana: Holi In Popular
TheIndian men don't always rule the roost women of Barsana village near Mathura in Uttar Pradesh beat up men from neighboring Nandgaon village with sticks, in what's known as Lathmar Holi celebrations. Lathmar Holi takes place around a week before the main day of Holi. In 2016, it will happen on March 23. The following day, the celebrations move to Nandgaon village. On March 25, the start of Holi celebrations at Banke Bihari temple in Vrindavan will be the main attraction. It's worth getting to Barsana a couple of days in advance of Lathmar Holi so that you can also experience Laddoo Holi festivities there. Sweets are thrown around and spiritual songs related to Radha and Krishna are sung. This will take place on March 23, 2016.
