This Year’s Holi Is Not Only A Festival Of Colours But Also A Festival

Even though Holi or Dol festival brought happiness to everyone at the beginning of March much like previous years, this year is a little special. The colour of Holi is expressed as a symbol of joy and happiness in people’s lives. But basically, the Holi festival is followed after the Dola Yatra. Usually in West Bengal people celebrate Dol Jatra Utsav (festival) before the day of the Holi celebration. But if you follow the mythology, the history of Dol Yatra is associated with Shri Krishna.
