Braj Festival
The
Brij Festival takes place a few days before Holi, (the
festival of colours) in the month of March.
Held in honour of Lord Krishna, this festival is marked
by verve and zest. Villagers, in gay,
multihued attire, can be seen singing and performing the Raslila
dance (dance depicting the immortal love-story of Radha and Krishna).
All of Bharatpur echoes the sound of folk melodies on this festival held
on the eve of Holi. Men and women, young and old, rich and poor-all are
touched by the spirit of this festival. Boisterous revellers spare no one
during this festival and delight in splashing colour on everyone around.
