Today’s Holi Rave Image Is…

We love the sheer energy of male to female interaction, taken at Braj in India, read on to discover what go’s on the day we call Holi.

No one plays Holi like the people of Braj. You need to visit the land of Lord Krishna to realize that the Brajwasis are not exaggerating. And when in Braj, nothing can match the excitement and action experienced during Lathmar Holi of Barsana.

Legend has it that Lord Krishna used to visit Barsana, Radha’s village, on Holi. Taking offence at his pranks, Barsana women chased him away. As a re-enactment of that event men from Krishna’s village, Nandgaon, visit Barsana on Holi.

Women clearly enjoy an upper hand and they utilise it to the hilt to beat the daylight out of the men. Men use shields to save themselves from the blows. All this happens as part of Holi revelry and no offence is taken even if the staffs miss the shields.
