In Uttar Pradesh there is a small town called Barsana (<strong>\u092c\u0930\u0938\u093e\u0928\u093e<\/strong>). Every year in a festival called Lathmar Holi, wives beat their husbands with sticks called Lathi (<strong>\u0932\u093e\u0920\u0940<\/strong>). The only protection that the husbands have is this tiny shield on top of their heads. This tradition mimics the time when Krishna (<strong>\u0915\u0943\u0937\u094d\u0923<\/strong>) visited his sweetheart Radha (<strong>\u0930\u093e\u0927\u093e<\/strong>). He teased her and she and her friends retaliated by driving him out of town.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The tradition of &#039;Lathmar Holi&#039;\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/fZuApVQV6BU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Now this is just unfair. (Watch the video below) This is like ten women beating on one man. The man is outnumbered and taking it like a trooper. This is one of the few festivals that women relish because they get to take out all their aggression and stress out on their husbands. Indian society is a patriarchal society, so when festivals come around, it\u2019s mostly the women that cook the food and take care of the clean up after the festival ends. There\u2019s a lot of preparation that goes into making a festival successful, and it\u2019s only fair that women get to enjoy the festivals too.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"indian woman beating men hard....\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/o2u1-8OnCKo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>One of the other delights of this festival is a drink called thandai. Thandai is a cold drink made with almonds, fennel seeds, saffron, milk, sugar and cardamom. The drink is slightly laced with bhang (<strong>\u092d\u093e\u0902\u0917<\/strong>), which is made from the leaves of cannabis. Lathmar Holi is a day where the normal routine is broken. This is a day where women get to wield power over their husbands and it is exacerbated by the thandai drink. In short, it\u2019s a really fun festival. Here is a drink showing you how to make thandai (minus the cannabis):<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Thandai Recipe (Almond Drink) How to Make Thandai at Home Recipe by Manjula\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Tj55cle3MTY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lathmar Holi (\u0932\u091f\u094d\u0920\u092e\u093e\u0930 \u0939\u094b\u0932\u0940) is a festival that takes place in the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh (\u0909\u0924\u094d\u0924\u0930 \u092a\u094d\u0930\u0926\u0947\u0936).
