The famous Lathmar Holi, a festival in which women beat men with lathis to recreate the romantic association between Lord Krishna and his ladylove Radha has begun with usual enthusiasm in the town of Barsana in district Mathura of the north Indian state of Uttar Pradesh.

People from all over India visit the town to see a version of the La Tomatina festival of Spain. The women in covered faces and holding big sticks in hands, and reining blows on men is a fun game and part of the extended Holi celebration that culminates with Holi on Monday.
