Holi in the Barpeta district of Assam is much more than colours, sweets and celebrations. The festival is deeply rooted in the Satriya culture.
The three-day long Shri Krishna Doul Mahotsav has begun in historic Barpeta Xatra, which was established by Mahapurush Madhabdeb. Starting yesterday with xatriya customs and traditions.
The Doul Mahotsav celebrated at this satra is unique to the region and is based on the legend of Lord Krishna’s visit to his consort Ghunusa that angered his wife.
