Braj's Unique Holi: Laddu Holi to Lathmar Holi, a Celebration of Faith and Tradition

• Brajbhoomi celebrates Holi as a living tradition of faith, love, and culture, starting with Laddu Holi and Lathmar Holi in Barsana on Vasant Panchami.
• The tradition dates back to the Dvapara Yuga, where Barsana friends invited Nandgaon for Holi, leading to the exchange of laddus and gulal.
• Barsana becomes the central hub for Lathmar Holi, with men from Nandgaon playing Holi with women from Barsana, initiated by a formal invitation from a Panda.
• Shriji Temple hosts the unique 'Laddu Holi' where laddus are thrown as a welcome gesture for the Panda and then showered among devotees.
• Devotees from India and abroad flock to Barsana annually, describing the Holi celebration as wonderful, divine, and unlike any other in the world.
