Best Time to Visit Mathura Vrindavan for the Holi Festival

Introduction


Holi, the festival of colors, is celebrated with unmatched enthusiasm in Mathura and Vrindavan, the land of Lord Krishna. Thousands of devotees and tourists flock to these cities to witness and participate in the joyous festivities. But when is the best time to visit and experience the magic of Holi in its full glory? Let’s find out.


Why is Holi unique in Mathura and Vrindavan?


Holi in Mathura and Vrindavan is not just a festival; it's a cultural phenomenon deeply rooted in the stories of Lord Krishna and Radha. The celebrations here begin a week before the actual day of Holi and continue with various rituals and events, making it a long and immersive experience.


The Best Time to Visit


  1. Lathmar Holi in Barsana and Nandgaon: The festivities kick off with Lathmar Holi, celebrated in Barsana and Nandgaon, villages near Mathura. This event takes place about a week before Holi and involves a playful mock battle between men and women, in which women playfully hit men with sticks. This unique tradition is a must-see and is best experienced 7-8 days before the main Holi day.
  2. Phoolon Wali Holi in Vrindavan: A day or two before Holi, Vrindavan celebrates Phoolon Wali Holi, where flowers replace colors. This celebration takes place at the Banke Bihari Temple, where priests shower flowers on devotees. This event is best experienced 2-3 days before Holi.
  3. The main Holi day in Mathura and Vrindavan is the highlight, with temples and streets awash with vibrant colors. The Dwarkadhish Temple in Mathura and the Banke Bihari Temple in Vrindavan are the focal points of the celebrations. The best time to visit is on the day of Holi itself.
  4. Rang Panchami: If you miss the main Holi celebrations, you can still experience the extended Holi festivities during Rang Panchami, celebrated five days after Holi. This is a wonderful time for those who want to avoid the massive crowds but still enjoy the festival's essence.


Travel tips for Holi in Mathura and Vrindavan


  1. Book Early: Holi attracts a large number of tourists, so it's essential to book your accommodation and travel arrangements well in advance.
  2. Dress Appropriately: Wear old clothes, as they are likely to get stained with colors. Also, protect your skin with oil or moisturizer.
  3. Stay Hydrated: The celebrations can be intense, so make sure to drink plenty of water.
  4. Be Cautious: While the celebrations are generally safe, it's advisable to stay in groups and be cautious of pickpockets.
