Devotees inside Banke Bihari Temple, Vrindavan. Everyday thousands and thousands devotees come to this temple get a glipse of Sri Banke Bihari ( Lord Krishna ).
With a little effort the temple authorities allowed me to shoot inside the temple. This is a top view inside the temple. Only thing that you can not shoot is the "Banke Bihari ji's Statue" ....
The temple was built by Swami Haridas in the year 1864. According to folklore, Swami Haridas discovered Banke Bihari in Nidhivan and it was later moved to the present temple premise. The temple is a special attraction during the month of Sravana when it adorns a special look. The entire premise is covered with flowers and other decorative. Special pooja is performed during Janmashtami, the idol of Shri Krishna is adorned with pitamber(yellow cloth) and jewelery.

Staying true to Nikons tagline "At the heart of the image", placed myself at the core of holi activities this time around.
For the last 2 years during my coverage of Holi at Barsana and Nandgaon, I had concentrated on creating picture-perfect postcard images of the grandeur, which meant shooting from the rooftop of the temple with a 70-200. Considerably safer option.
Now that I was done with it, it was now time to put myself in between the chaos. 24-70 took over the job, it was all about getting close.
I don't think my camera has ever been subjected to as much intense beating as this. Colored water literally filling my lens hood, front element fogging up and what not. Meanwhile, I don't think I ever had so much fun celebrating holi, it was fantastic being at the epicentre of it all.

Right in front of the famous ISKCON temple in Vrindavan a lady is buying flower beads as offering for Sri Krishna and Sri Radha. the lady is looking very sceptical. Is it good enough for the deities?
Janmashtami is a traditional Hindu holiday that celebrates the first earthly appearance, or the birth, of the god Krishna. Celebrated by 930 million people all around the world, it is a holiday that brings spiritual renewal and the celebration of new beginnings and a fresh new year. The holiday sits in the Hindu month of Sravana, and the holiday lasts for two days. The celebrations begin at midnight, the time when Krishna is thought to have been born in 3228 BC.
new years greetings from Gina
Met this old lady Radhe in pushkar streets, Rajasthan. Coming from a very interior village beyond pushkar she hardly understood our hindi when we started our own style of calling "dhadhi ma.. ek thasveer". Still doesnt want to move without taking her picture as i could see a lovely smile & beauty even at this age. when we asked her to stand before this blue wall (for better lighting) she never smiled and was so serious. I literally used almost all my broken hindi to make her smile. Infact showed a big smile & said "dhaadhi maa.. hassoo.. hassoo.. " & output was awesome.. when i showed her photo from camera.. she just laughed out with a shyness which i missed out to click as i was more concentrating in teasing her :)
Radhe - a good and dear friend, who allowed me to turn my camera on her a few times during the last 20 years or so. This was a magical morning as the sun was coming up.
Breaking the shackles of tradition, around 800 widows played Holi with gulaal and flowers in the land of lord Krishna, Vrindavan in four-day Holi celebrations that began on February 24th.. Woman dancing on the tunes of Radhe Radhe during Holi celebrations in Vrindavan, Uttar Pradesh, India
Last year with my friends we went to shoot old age and widows holi in Gopinath temple which is quite famous now. The whole environment was so good and with positive aura. There are beautiful, old ladies who don’t even know you but still would talk to you and play with you like their own sons and grandsons.
There I met “Dida” that’s what people call old ladies there. I was just sitting in front of her and was waiting for the main priest to come and start Phoolwali holi. She was looking at me continuously, some kind of spark in her eyes. Then she said something to her old friend sitting next to her in bengali as I could see her pointing her glance towards me. I didn’t understand anything but I got an idea that they were talking about me.
Suddenly another priest came and asked all of us to get up and stand on side because a big priest was about to enter. Luckily Dida and I were standing again next to each other. She was still looking at me with those sparkling eyes, but this time I smiled and then the conversation started.
She told me that I remind her of his grandson. He looked just like me and his health, face and hairstyle also. His name is Sujoy Majumder.
I took one selfie with her and hugged her wishing her Happy holi.
After few minutes everything became colorful from red, yellow, green, gulaal and from different flower petals.
All old and widow ladies started chanting Radhe Krishna and were dancing happily. Playing holi with everyone. It felt so good to see all those ladies playing freely. Even though they are widows, they have a right to play and enjoy colourful Holi just like us, and that’s what I felt there. I also saw some ladies crying and remembering their loved ones. While some were crying seeing many unknown people playing holi, clicking them and dancing with them.
“The widow community started celebrating the ‘festival of colours’ in March, 2013 and since then it has been an overwhelm Holi journey of transformation. The age-old repressive practice of alienating the widows and disallowing them from leading normal lives has almost culminated with the opening up of this festival for them. Along with this, it colourfull fields for the widowers as well as the widows, ensuring gender equality on a large scale and further strengthening the cultural landscape of the country.”
