I travelled to Mathura with a single purpose of capturing the Holi Festival. The festival of colours as it is known attracts people from all corners of India to Mathura-Vrindavan where they embrace the essence of Holi in the land of Lord Krishna. With an immensely strong bonding with Lord Krishna, people of Mathura and Vrindavan celebrate Holi for over a week. The tradition of playing colours on Holi draws its roots from a legend of Radha and Krishna. It is said that young Krishna was jealous of Radha's fair complexion since he himself was very dark. He narrated his woe to his mother Yashoda, who teasingly asked him to colour Radha's face in which ever colour he wanted. Being mischievous, Krishna applied colour on Radha's face. The tradition of applying colour on one's face has been being religiously followed till date.
