Why Experience This
While Holi is celebrated across India, Mathura - Krishna's birthplace - takes it to another level. Celebrations begin weeks early with the unique Lathmar Holi where women playfully beat men with sticks. The atmosphere is pure joy as ancient temples, winding lanes, and millions of devotees are drenched in colors.
