I feel so lucky to have experienced celebrating Holi at the birthplace of Krishna in Mathura. I am a female and went here with two female friends and we were fine. We were never touched inappropriately as I have read from a few others. We only attended from 9:45am to 11am, so it may be that we got out before everyone got drunk. There were a few other females in attendance as well. The temple floors were covered in chalk and water from the water balloons. There was plenty of singing and dancing set by a few men in the center who were on a raised platform. It was amazing to be a part of this.

Govardhan is an extremely beautiful place where you can immersed in the bhakti of krishna/Giriraaj.I did the parikrama this year in the month of December.Initially i was scared whether i will be able to complete 21km or not but gradually when I saw little kids who were doing sastang dandabad parikrama,i felt that atleast i can simply walk and complete the circumference.Nowadays,on the way you will get enough eateries and also many public toilets.Also the e rickshaws are availabe if incase you feel you are not feeling well.Interestingly,if you complete the circumference all your prayers are answered.Gobardhan is Kalpataru dham.Do visit and offer prayers!
