Garga Samhita (Sanskrit: गर्ग संहिता, romanized: Garga-saṃhitā) is a Sanskrit-language Vaishnavite scripture based on the Hindu deities Radha and Krishna. Its authorship is attributed to the sage Garga, the head priest of Krishna's clan, Yadava.[1][2] It is the earliest text that associates Radha Krishna and the gopis with the Holi festival.[3]
Krishna's pastimes with Radha, Gopis and Gopas (cowherds); identifies various places (including Vrindavan) in the Mathuramandala (region) as the sites of these events.
