The Brij Festival is held just days before Holi, the festival of colors. Held in honor of Lord Krishna, this festival is marked by verve and zest. One can see villagers, in colorful clothing, singing and performing the dance of Raslila - the immortal love story of Radha and Krishna. All Bharatpur congregates consciously to the sound of popular melodies on this festival held on the occasion of Holi. Men and women, young and old, rich and poor - the spirit of this festival touches all.
