7 Surprising Things You Didn't Know About Holi Celebrations In India

By Gunjan Upreti

Barsana , small village near Mathura .The famous Gopi of our Krishna, Radha ji was born and spent her childhood here. Shri Radha Rani temple was our destination from Delhi. The 125 km stretch took us about 3hrs 15 mins to reach. Temple get's closed by 1:30 pm and reopens at dot 4:30pm. The shakahari (vegetarian) food is lip smacking. One must not miss having lunch at the bhojnalaye down the streets of Barsana. Full meal in just 40 bucks. Do try the street foods too(lassi, golgappa, aalu fry, and Pedaaa). Even if you reach by the time temple is closed , you won't get bored waiting. The surrounding is peaceful with beautiful view of the village. If you are planning for vrindawan and mathura, do plan a visit to Barsana. The 300 stairs to be climbed to reach Radha Krishna is worth . :)

Barsana.. Radhey Radhey.

Barsana is home toun of Lord Krishna's eternal love - Radha. Radha and Krishna are worshipped together and it is said that they are inseparable and incomplete without each other. Beautiful temple of Barsana should be visited on your trip to Vrindavan.

Vrindavan - City of Lord Krishna

By Udit Gulati (Mysterious Traveller)

Famous for its Lathmar holi, a ritual which take in neighbouring villages of Barsana and Nandgaon. In the sprawling compound of the Radha Rani temple in Barsana, thousands gather to witness the Lath Mar holi when women beat up men with sticks (laṭh - bamboo sticks) as those on the sidelines become hysterical, sing Holi Songs and shout Sri Radhey or Sri Krishna. The Holi songs of Braj mandal are sung in pure Braj. On the first day of Lath Mar Holi, gops (shepherds) from Nandgaon come to Barsana to play Holi with the gopis (shepherdesses) of Barsana. The festival begins with a ceremony at the Radha Rani temple. After this ceremony gops then march out of the temple on the Rang Rangeeli Gali where they stop to play holi with the gopis, who stand in groups along the street.
