The Holi celebrations rooted in the stories of Lord Krishna of Braj Bhoomi, is stuff of legends. While the rest of the country is content with splashing of colours just for a day, here in the land of its origins, it goes on for more than a week. It begins with the age-old tradition of Lathmar in Barsana, hometown of Radha, where women wielding six foot long sticks take to the streets, to give the men of neighboring Nandgaon a sound thrashing. The next day, it's the turn of the men from Barsana to visit Nandgaon and they are meted out with the same treatment.Why travel with Mayank SoniFor over four years, Mayank has captured the revelry from across the temple towns of Mathura, Vrindavan & its surrounding villages. His photos have been published in National Geographic Traveller as well as several national newspapers.ItineraryMarch 7 - Check in at 12pm.
