Barsana Parikrama

कथा

Barsana rises over four hills said to be the four faces of Brahma, crowned by the Shriji Temple where Radha Rani is worshipped as the queen of Braj. Most pilgrims begin at the Radha Rani Selfie Point on Chiksauli Road, then wind through the narrow Sankari Khor gorge, the serene forest of Gahvar Van with its flute-carved Gahvar Kund, Maan Mandir atop Maan Garh and Mor Kutir, before closing at the hilltop Shriji Temple — each a setting of Radha and Krishna's tender pastimes. It comes most alive during Radhashtami and the famous Lathmar Holi, when the whole town sings and the lanes flood with colour and folk song.
