This marks the beginning of Holi celebrations in Barsana, which is renowned for its unique Holi traditions. The temple premises resonated with devotional songs and chants as priests and devotees participated in the age-old ritual.
Devotees made a beeline at Shriji temple and waited to receive the laddoos flung from the rooftop of the temple by priests. People then went on to throw laddoos at each other, symbolizing the playful teasing of Lord Krishna by the Gopis.
