In Dauji’s Huranga, the hero is Sheshavatar Shri Dauji Maharaj. There is a tradition of Dauji’s Huranga. Men gop groups and women arrive dressed as Gopikas. Everyone plays Holi drenched in the colors of love. When the Gopas tease their Gopikas, they whip them fiercely. Even the beating of a whip on a wet body seems less in comparison to love.
