How Holi Celebrated :-
Indians celebrate Holi in various ways – the lathmaar holi in Barsana, the warrior holi in Punjab, the Dol jatra in West Bengal and the Yaosang in Manipur. The consistent theme in the greater part of this is — hues, bliss and an upbeat welcome to spring.
Vrindavan, the land of Krishna’s ‘raas-leela’ with the gopis, is where Holi celebrations start at least a week before the actual festival. Breaking the shackles of tradition, widows started playing Holi with gulal and flowers last year and the tradition continues this year as well.
