Holi is celebrated with gusto for almost three weeks in Lord Krishna’s territory of Vrindavan, Nandgaon, Barsana; all about 150 Kms from Delhi, INDIA…. This photo feature captures a few motions and emotions of the place on the occasion!
- The Brijbhoomi beckons; Typical lanes of Vrindavan
- The Soulful singer at Radha Raman Mandir, Brij
- The festooned roofs of the temple precincts
- Children at their best
- The pilgrims and the visitors drenched and decked
- Spirit of Festivities everywhere
- Rhythmic movements and the swings
- Gopis and Cattle are plenty
- The Blessed Bliss, in his own world
- The electrifying temple precincts
- emotional devotion and devotional emotions
- intense gaiety and fervour
- immersed in the ‘gulal’
- Devotion or craziness, you wonder!
- The official roving ‘pichkaris’ at work
- Abira Gulal ke Baadal Chaye
- The official supplies, ready at hand
- Securing the child, hoisting to vantage
- children partake in the festivity as crowd disperses
- Looking for Salvation
- Here comes a blessing of the supreme
- Frenzied ‘Radhe Radhe’ chants rent the air
- Absolute surrender
- The ecstasy and beyond as Aarti happens
- The priest catching his breath after nine-hour frenzy
- Queuing for the special audience
- Here flies the special prasad!
- mine mine mine, they go!
- What next? Where do we go?
- Bhakths disperse leaving behind the colorful slushy precincts
- Saved the camera from the savage of crowd and officials!
- The lord is visible all over!
- The colors that you will not miss!
- The omnipresent rudraksh!
- The forty winks to get ready!
- The LORD to be framed!
- The Widows of vrindavan, waiting for alms
- Double celebrations, HOLI and Election results – discussion go on!
- Lord on a tree, next to river Yamuna teasing Gopikas
- Siesta time, by the river
- I lost my heart in Vrindavan
- I gave up everything for the lord
- Singing Bhajans in praise of almighty I indulge in now
- OFO, Holi hai! A few days away!
- I am busy as ever, a visit to the temple it takes
- Neither am I less busy – the mustard oil extraction
- Outside is no less frenzy by evening
- The ‘Pett puja’ we need to have
- You cannot miss the HOLI flavour
- 1-2-3, ready for Raas Lila? – Look
- Hare Krishna, Hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna Hare Hare
