The correct answer is (b).
Latthmar Holi is a unique form of Holi celebrated in Barsana, a town in Mathura district of Uttar Pradesh, India. It is a women-centric festival where women play Holi with men using sticks. The festival is celebrated on the last day of the month of Phalgun, which falls in the month of March according to the Gregorian calendar.
The legend behind Latthmar Holi is that Radha, the consort of Krishna, lived in Barsana while Krishna lived in Gokul. One day, Krishna and his friends went to Barsana to tease Radha. Radha got angry and started beating them with sticks. Since then, Latthmar Holi has been celebrated in Barsana to commemorate this event.
The festival starts with a procession of women from Barsana to Nandgaon, the village where Krishna lived. The women are dressed in traditional clothes and carry sticks. They sing and dance as they make their way to Nandgaon.
On reaching Nandgaon, the women are welcomed by the men of Nandgaon. The men then try to protect themselves from the sticks of the women. The women chase the men and beat them with sticks. The men try to dodge the sticks and also try to hit the women
