The Brij Festival takes place a
few days before Holi, the festival of colours.
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-the
immortal love-story of Radha and Krishna. All
of Bharatpur comes alive to 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. |
