![]() Today, Holi celebrations in Barsana begin one week before the actual date of the festival, moving to Nandgaon the next day. ![]() It is said that every year, Lord Krishna would travel from his village (Nandgaon) to Goddess Radha’s (Barsana), where Radha and the gopis would playfully beat him with sticks. His mother then advised him to smear colour on Radha, thus giving birth to Braj ki Holi. As the legend goes, as a child, Lord Krishna would cry to his mother about Goddess Radha being fair while he had a dark complexion. Mathura and Vrindavan are known for their Holi celebrations.
