    Know about the origin of Holi

    Holi is celebrated in almost all parts of India. Holi is famous in “Braj”, a historical region that covers the area of Mathura and Vrindavan. Mathura and Vrindavan’s Holi attracts tourists from all over the world due to its unique customs and traditions. Mathura is the birthplace of lord Krishna, and in Vrindavan, he grew up.

    When lord Krishna was young, he questioned his mother about Radha being fair while he had a dark complexion. His mother Yashoda suggested he color Radha playfully. Over the year lord Krishna used to go to Banaras to color Radha and other gopis. They beat lord Krishna with sticks and the tradition goes on.
