Brij 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.
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.)
