Holi In Braj – Mathura
आज बिरज में होरी रे रसिया होरी रे रसिया, बरजोरी रे रसिया उड़त गुलाल लाल भये बादर- केसर रंग में घोरी रे रसिया
The identity of Holi in Braj is unique, in some places, it is Lathamar Holi and at some places the courageous panda passing through the fire seems to remind the mythological Kacha Prastad.
Somewhere there is the hubbub of Huranga and somewhere else the charming scenes of Chhadimar Holi played with little Kanha are thrilling.
The scenes of Holi of flowers played on the stage and Laddumar Holi in the grand temple of ‘Shriji Radharani’ of Barsana attract the attention of the country and the world.
During Laddumar Holi, there is a competition among all the devotees to catch those laddus. Some catch them and put them in their bag, while some eat them at the same time considering them as Prasad of their worshipper.
There are many stories of celebrating Holi in our country but the belief in Braj is that Lord Shri Krishna first played Holi with his beloved Radha Rani.
As soon as Holikashtak begins, a calendar of various Holi festivals played in Braj is brought out.
