Holi Festival at Vrindavan, Uttar Pradesh,India

Holi, one of the most joyous festivals of India brings a smile to a lot of faces. The festival of colour is also celebrated as a win of goodness over the evil. It is the time to let go of all the inhibitions, enjoy the experience of youthful flirtations and celebrate life with colours. Holi is undoubtedly a boisterous affair celebrated all through India with great fervor and vivacity. However, if you want to experience the traditional Holi, then you must not miss the Holi in Vrindavan, Mathura or the Braj Bhumi. The festivities of Holi are mostly inspired by the mythological tales of Radha and Krishna. Their eternal love and joyful coquetry form the basis of all the different events celebrated during Holi in Vrindavan, Mathura and around.
