Day 1 – 13 March 2022 – Barsana Lath Mar Holi

This is the first day of festivities in Braj Bhoomi and is held in Barsana. It starts almost a week before the main “Holi Day”. The traditional festivities involve women dressing up as Gopis (consorts of Lord Krishna) and beat men who come dressed as Gops (friends of Lord Krishna) with sticks  .

They chased them away from their village by beating them with stick! Hence the name Lath Mar which means give a kick or beat with with a stick!
