In a Holi tradition unique to Nandgaon and Barsana villages, men sing provocative songs to gain the attention of women, who then "beat" them with bamboo sticks called "lathis". Holi, also known as the Festival of colors, heralds the beginning of spring and is celebrated all over India. [Photo/Agencies]
