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.)
