Holi festival, Barsana

Coloured powders are prepared for devotees arriving at the Shriji Temple (Laadli Sarkar Mahal), at Barsana, during Lathmar Holi. It is held during a full moon and the town becomes swamped with tourists and revellers making the pilgrimage for a glimpse of "God", the Lord Shiva, who is revealed inside the temple only fleetingly.
