 Barsana Holi, Uttar Pradesh

I am planning to attend Barsana Lathmaar Holi in March 2016. I will be going there with few of my friends and my wife. Few people advised me to not to take my wife to Barsana and Nandgaon during the holi as there might be risk during the holi celebration.

Barsana Holi

1.
Barsana when Holi is celebrated. The State Tourism Board has arranged a special viewing of the celebrations in a ground on the outskirt’s of the town. You can witness the brilliance and splendor that marks Barsana Holi easily.

2.
Barsana Holi is celebrated on the ninth day of the month of Phalgun according to the Hindu calendar. It corresponds to the month March.

3.
Holi of Barsana, the birthplace of Radha, a village, 42 kms away from Mathura, is of particular interest.

4.
Here, men from Nandgaon, the land of Krishna come to play Holi with the girls of Barsana and hope of raising their flag over Shri Radhikaji's temple. But, instead of colours they are greeted with sticks by the gopis. Hence, the Holi get its new name here-Lathmaar Holi.

5.
The week long Holi celebrations also continue in the various Krishna temples on different days. The celebrations are filled with clouds of colours and of course, much fun.

 I really don't want to miss this grand event but also want to make sure the safety.
Please advise.
