India Lathmar Holi
Indian Hindu worshippers from Barsana are sprayed with colored water by men from Nandgaon during Lathmar Holi at Nandagram Temple, in Nandgaon, India, Saturday, March 3, 2012. According to tradition which has its roots in Hindu mythology men from Barsana arrive at the temple where they are soaked in colored water by men from Nandgaon, believed to be Lord Krishna's village, and then beaten by the women of the village with wooden sticks as they depart the town.
