India Lathmar Holi
Indian Hindu women from Barsana wait in their doorway to hit men from Nandgaon with sticks during Lathmar Holi in Barsana, India, Friday, March 2, 2012. According to tradition which has its roots in Hindu mythology men from Lord Krishna's village of Nandgaon are beaten by the women of Barsana, home of Lord Krishna's lover Radha. It is said that Lord Krishna's relatives used to tease Radha and her friends and were beaten by them in return. Even to this day, marriage between the two villages are not permitted.
