Braj mahotsav
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).
Massages, treatments using herbs, and the ancient traditions of
ayurveda and yoga add to the well-being of the body and the mind.
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.
Bharatpur is situated on the Delhi - Mumbai main railway line and
also on National Highway no. 11 (Bikaner - Agra). Agra being the
nearest Airport (56 kms.)
