Holi here is famous as “LathMar” Holi, since Lord Shri Krishna is from Nandgaon Radharani Barsana, Kanha ji with her cowherd’s Song Radha Rani and her friends Holi used to come to Barsana, that recognition continues even today. Therefore, according to belief, people here consider kinship in Nandgaon and Barsana and play Holi among themselves.
On the first day, the men of Nandgaon come to play Holi with the women of Barsana, in which women welcome them with sticks. Women beat them with sticks on their heads to avoid which they keep a shield on their head, thus this Lathmar Holi is played. The next day the men there play Holi with each other. Thousands of people come here and play Holi in the traditional way . The temple complex is filled with colors and Abir Gulal, the child is seen swinging in the fun of Holi.
