It is believed that Lord Krishna being dark in complexion and Radha being fair, he would apply colour on her face to look similar. One day Lord Krishna was eavesdropping on Radha and her group of friends and was teasing them; the women of Barsana took offence and chased Lord Krishna and his friends away by running after them with <em>lathis<\/em> (wooden sticks) and thus began the ritual of <em>Lathmar Holi <\/em>that the people of Barsana and Nandgaon celebrate every year with immense fun. It\u2019s an atmosphere of pomp, gaiety and carnival.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Travel Photography is all about getting the real essence of the place i.e. knowing local culture, interacting with local people, watching their celebrations, experience their way of life.
