 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.)
