Brij Festival
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.)

Hello
Durjay,
I'm back at home and at work. The flight home was quite
an ordeal! First a ten-hour delay in Delhi, then a 20-hour flight to
Toronto, then a second overnight delay in Toronto before my flight to
Chicago. To top it all off, the bus I took from Chicago to Milwaukee got in
an accident on the way home. So I arrived home on Sunday afternoon instead
of Saturday at 8 a.m. as planned. But there was an empty seat next to me on
the Delhi-Toronto flight, so I got plenty of sleep. And I'm happy to be home
safe.
