Lathmar Holi: Lathmar Holi is a unique prelude to the main Holi celebration, typically beginning about a week before the main festival. In this lively event, women from Barsana welcome men from Nandgaon with wooden sticks (lathis) in hand. The tradition is deeply rooted in Hindu mythology, where Lord Krishna, along with his friends, would visit Radha’s village, Barsana, to tease Radha and the Gopis by playfully throwing colored water. In return, Radha and the Gopis would chase Krishna and his friends with sticks. When you book Barsana Holi Tour packages in India with Rang Travels, you’ll experience this incredible tradition firsthand, adding to the excitement of your Holi Tours in India.
Festive Ritual: During Lathmar Holi, men from Nandgaon, drenched in colorful water, arrive in Barsana and engage in a playful exchange with the women.
