Braj ki Holi – Lasts for a Month and a Quarter – This photo was taken at Vrindavan Research Institute in Vrindavan (Uttar Pradesh).
Holi of Braj
The beauty of Braj is that of Faag; Faag is the beauty of Braj. Everyone in the world sings the love for the Faag of Braj.
This expression of 18th century Sadhak Nagaridas Raja Sawant Singh in the context of Holi of Braj was not made just like that. Behind this are the age-old traditional rites of Holi here. Along with its events in Braj, there is also a glorious tradition of Braj Bhasha literature related to Holi. Along with various handwritten libraries, ancient literature related to Holi is available in the Vrindavan Research Institute. This event starts from Basant Panchami in the temples here, after which the excitement of Holi continues here for a month and a quarter. Somewhere, it is flower and laddu Holi, somewhere love-filled sticks, along with this, love-filled potna made of cloth, and the Panda coming out safely from the burning embers is the cultural scene of Holi of Braj.
