Holi in Mathura<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

There are many festivals you celebrate but then there are some festivals which you experience with soul. Holi in Mathura <\/strong>belongs to the latter. Unlike other parts of India where holi is primarily a public celebration of color, in Mathura the birthplace of Lord Krishna – \u201c<\/strong>Holi is a living tradition, a cultural epic that spans centuries, steeped in mythology, devotion and divine love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holi celebrations in Mathura, deeply rooted in the legends of Krishna and Radha in the Braj region, began thousands of years ago, traditionally linked to the 4th century or earlier. The festivities originate from the mythological story of Krishna visiting Barsana to play with Radha and the Gopis, evolving into a week-long celebration. According to ancient stories, Lord Krishna was concerned about his dark-blue skin compared to Radha\u2019s fair complexion, was encouraged by his mother Yasoda to color her face. This playful act of love became the foundation of Holi – a festival celebrating divine affection, joy and togetherness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
