FAIRS AND FESTIVALS

BRAJ MAHOTSAV  ( festival 2-4 FEB. EVERY YEAR)

All the fairs and festivals of Raj asthan are celebrated with traditional rituals, but Bharatpur's proximity to Uttar Pradesh shows a great influence of UP's culture also.

Bharatpur lies close to Braj Bhoomi - the birthplace of Lord Krishna and where he spent his childhood. The Ras Leela, depicting the life of Krishna, is performed by professionals selected by the Rai community for this occasion.
