During this celebration, women run after men with lathis or canes and playfully hit them in the areas of Barsana, Mathura, and Vrindavan. The men arrive armed with a ‘dhal, or shield. As a result, it is known as Lathmar Holi and is celebrated a week before the Holi festival. Thousands of people gather to watch this wild version of Holi. Men and women sing popular Holi songs and chant Radha and Krishna chants.
