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. |
