T he
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.
