A team of Indian Performing Art and Craft, Mathura would give a performance on the Holi songs followed with the dances of Braj region at Charaiveti Open Air Stage, Manav Sangrahalaya from 7 pm.
Noticeably, the Holi celebration in Braj starts a fortnight before the date of Holi and continues for another fortnight after Holi. The Braj culture has been expressed widely through various practices. Sanjhee is the colourful art of decorating the ground with flowers.
Rasiya is a tradition that is integral to Mathura's culture. It is the tradition of folk-songs that describe the love of the divine couple Radha and Krshnaji. It is an inseparable part of the Holi celebrations and all other festive occasions at Mathura.
