Holi Festival
Women are beating male devotees with sticks as part of the ritual during the Lathmar Holi celebration at the Radha Rani temple in Barsana. The festival is rooted in a Hindu legend where Lord Krishna traveled from Nandgaon to Barsana to tease his lover Radha and her companions, who took offense at his advances and drove him out of the village.
