Holi Celebration
Holi is Coming! Holi is Coming!
The festival of Holi begins on Dwadashi - on the twelfth day of the waxing moon of the month of Phalgun.
Lord Krishna loved festivity. He frolicked around with his band of cowherds and maidens of the village in his childhood and youth.
The hamlets of Brindavan, Gokul and Barsana were full of fun and festivity. Lord Krishna played Holi with much gusto. He played pranks on the Gopis. They sprayed color on each other with Gulal made up of gay shades of pink, magenta, red, yellow and green along with Abeer (small crystals or paper-like chips of mica). Krishna's favorite 'victim' was his childhood sweetheart Radhika, who lived in Barsana.
GET READY with 'pichkaris' (long syringes).
