Intro
Huranga Holi is a one-day event that ends the festive Holi season - India's famous festival of colors.
Held only at the Dauji Temple, it reenacts a playful bond between a man and his sister-in-law, a game believed to have been first played between Krishna and Revati, the wife of the god Balarama. Women drench men with colored water and beat them with their own torn garments, while the men soak the women in return.
