Why Holi is started in Mathura??

Holi shows the loves of Lord Krishna and Radha rani. Legends or our epics say that Lord krishna was jealous of Radha rani Beauty and color of her skin, he always complaints to his mother Yasomati by sayung " Yasomati maiya se bole Nandlala, Radha ku gori main ku kaala". So to make skin tones similar to his skin he went to Radha rani village Barsana and colored her. Then she used to beat him with sticks, Krishna do that with help of his friends. And now its become a tradition and has evolved to be colorful and Lathmar Holi started.. In Mathura, it is started a week in advance and continued till final day of holi.
