त्योहार
| त्योहार | कब | क्या होता है |
|---|---|---|
| The Holi cycle | Basant Panchami to Rang Panchami (February–March), about forty days | Braj's defining season. Barsana's Lathmar Holi, then Nandgaon's the next day; Phoolon wali Holi at Banke Bihari, played with flowers for a few minutes only; Huranga at Dauji, where women tear the men's clothes; Laddu Holi at Barsana; and Rang Panchami five days after the national date. |
| Janmashtami | Bhadrapada (August–September) | Krishna's birth, observed at midnight with abhishek, jhanki tableaux and Raslila. Mathura and Vrindavan fill to capacity and the temples stay open through the night. |
| Radhashtami | Fifteen days after Janmashtami | Radha's birth, and the bigger festival at Barsana. The only day of the year on which the feet of the Ladli ji image are visible to devotees, and the occasion for Charkula dancing. |
| Govardhan Puja and Annakut | The day after Diwali | A hill of food built before the deity and a hill of cow dung built in the courtyard, both representing Govardhan. Followed by the Govardhan parikrama at its busiest of the year. |
| Sanjhi | Pitru Paksha (September–October) | A fortnight in which girls and temple artists make cut-paper and powder images of Radha, ending with their immersion. The water-sanjhi at Vrindavan's Radharaman temple is the technical high point. |
| Braj Chaurasi Kos Parikrama | Varies; the largest organised walks are in Bhadrapada and Kartik | A circuit of roughly 250 km around the whole region, taking several weeks on foot and passing through all four states Braj occupies. |
| Yamuna Chhath and Kartik snan | Kartik (October–November) | A month of dawn bathing in the Yamuna, with the Kartik parikrama, and Yamuna Chhath marking the river goddess's appearance. |
| Mudia Purnima | Guru Purnima, Ashadha (June–July) | Gaudiya pilgrims, particularly from Bengal and Odisha, shave their heads and walk the Govardhan circuit in memory of Sanatana Goswami. Among the largest single gatherings at Govardhan. |
