Holi Celebration in Nandgaon, Mathura Uttar Pradesh, India
Summary edit
| Description |
English: Holi is a Hindu festival that is celebrated each year at the beginning of Spring, mostly in March, and signifies love and the victory of good over evil. Although the dates each year change, the celebrations typically begin a few weeks before the actual date.
Nandgaon, so called because it is considered the birthplace of the Indian God Krishna. Nandgaon is part of Braj Bhoomi, the region where Lord Krishna is said to have spent his childhood. On the day of Holi, the men of Nandgaon go to Barsana and dowse the female folk. They try to take over the temple of Radhika Ji. However, the women of Barsana resist their attempt to do so.
