#Bankey Bihari temple
Now once you covered in colors of love and affection from the crowd it's time to move to Virnadavan Bake bihari Temple, I got goosebumps while mentioning this Temple, it's just feel soo good to be a part of crowd who feels like family once start saying Radhe radhe to everyone, once again beware of monkeys as I lost my sunglasses here and someone threw color on my eyes(accidentally) but don't worry that's wasn't their intention to harm you it's just they are so excited to play holi with bihari ji.
It is the hub of holi festivals in Vrindavan which starts a week before the holi. We saw one narrow street going towards Banke-Bihari Temple from the backside of the temple and within 5 minutes, my white shirt had been coloured with different dry colours. The atmosphere at the temple has magnificent energetic and was high, the doors of the temple are opened to all the visitors to come and play holi. The priest throws the colors, water with pichkari and crowd chanting and praising lord Krishna "Hathi Ghoda palki, Jai Kannayya Lal ki".
