Radhastami at Varsana, Part II. Extended edition

On one of the days of Radhastami festival the residents of Varsana run throughout the village, with young boys dressed as Radha and Krishna on their shoulders. This tradition originates from the pastime at Sankari Khor, when Krishna demanded taxes from Radharani and her girlfriends, who were carrying pots of yogurt.

This particular lila takes place on the trayodasi day just 5 days after Radhastami. In Nandagram there are only jalebis in all the sweet shops and after eating jalebis all the Nandagram vasis come here for the Sankori Khor Lila. It is amazing that not one square cm of space is empty on both sides of the hill. Every day from Radhastami to the Purnima there is a festival like this in the villages surrounding Barsana commemorating different pastimes.
