This gate was decorated at the entrance of vrindavan.Since I reached there in the evening , so it was properly lit and was looking really preety.
So that day I went to baanke bihari temple
This is baankey bihari temple🥰
This is how holi was being celebrated there , a whole lot of fun , spirituality , positivity. In the temple everyone including the pujari's were throwing gulal and they were using colour cylinders , pichkaris. This is the inside picture of baankey bihari temple. I took the shayan aarti which usually starts at 8:30PM . There was a lot of rush because of holi , but this is why it's FAMOUS. And it's worth being famous. I took this picture from the first floor of the temple, though the gaurds weren't allowing to go to 1st floor , but somehow I managed to go there.
Previous day I took a hotel in the baankey bihari gali only . Because I wanted to be there . That place is a vibe. But make sure that if anybody is planning to come to vrindavan on holi , book your hotel 3 months prior going , coz on holi otherwise on holi atleast you will not find a single hotel neaby baankey bihari temple.
The next day I went to Radha vallabh temple .
In radha Vallabh temple , it was a different world . Everyone was dancing playing holi .In short that was holi ka world cup . Even in the streets of vrindavan people were applying colour to each other even to the strangers , kids were throwing water balloons on the people roaming in the streets .
So at 12:30 I left from vrindavan to Barsana . There were auto's by which one can go to Barsana or by bus either. That was a 1 hour journey.
I went to Radha Rani's temple in Barsana .
Temple's in Barsana gets closed at 12 noon and then open's at 5 in the evening. So meanwhile I stayed in the temple premises.
Pro Tip- Temples in mathura, vrindavan , Barsana gets closed at 12 in the noon and then opens between 4-5 in the evening.
I started my trip from alwar , and I drove to vrindavan which was a 2.5 hours journey by car . One can go by train or bus either, buses usually goes directly to vrindavan , but mostly trains doesn't goes to vrindavan. So to reach vrindavan by train , you can go to mathura by train and from mathura station you can hire a private auto which will charge between 400-500rs of vrindavan or you can take sharing auto's which will take as low as 30rs for vrindavan.
