This is how they play Holi in Vrindavan

They say if you really need to get a feel of vibrant India, head to Vrindavan during Holi.

In Vrindavan -- the seat of the much-revered Krishna Leela and the cradle of the sonorous, secular cult of the Bhakti movement in India -- people celebrate Holi for over a week.

The temple town, located in Mathura district of Uttar Pradesh, draws thousands of tourists who drench themselves in the spirit of devotion
