The 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
