Mathura is Lord Krishna\u2019s birthplace and Vrindavan is his childhood home. There is no surprise both towns are at the epicentre of this divine narrative. Smearing of colours during Holi stems from the playful Krishna and Radha and the gopis. During the festival, both towns relish in the divine love, and joyful camaraderie of Krishna and Radha, not to mention these traditions are cherished by all across the globe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"variations-of-holi-in-mathura-amp-vrindavan\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Variations_of_Holi_in_Mathura_Vrindavan\"><\/span><strong>Variations of Holi in Mathura &amp; Vrindavan<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"lathmar-holi-in-barsana-and-nandgaon\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lathmar_Holi_in_Barsana_and_Nandgaon\"><\/span><strong>Lathmar Holi in Barsana and Nandgaon<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The festival begins in Radha\u2019s village, Barsana, where a fun-filled activity takes place; women chase men with sticks in an event known as Lathmar Holi. Its commemoration is just as fun as it is to watch because of the joy, music, and colours throughout the entire place. All the men have to use shields to protect themselves which adds another element to the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/saimantick.com\/photography\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-id=\"20071\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stayvista.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/Shot-by-Saimantick-50-1024x468.webp\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-20071\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">PC: <a href=\"https:\/\/saimantick.com\/photography\/\">Saimantick Bhadra<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"phoolon-ki-holi-in-vrindavan\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Phoolon_Ki_Holi_in_Vrindavan\"><\/span><strong>Phoolon Ki Holi in Vrindavan<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Banke Bihari Temple in Vrindavan, there is a wonderful celebration where colours are replaced with flowers known as Phoolon Ki Holi.

The Krishna Janmabhoomi temple, where Krishna was born, is located in Mathura and there are other temples in Vrindavan, like the Prem Mandir and ISKON temple, that offer peace during the festivities.
