Jhulan Yatra (The Swing Festival)
12th Aug to 16th Aug 2008
One of the most popular events in the holy town of Vrindavan, India - where
Lord Krishna appeared 5,000 years ago - is the celebration of Jhulan Yatra,
the Radha-Krishna swing festival. In Vrindavan among the local villagers and
inhabitants this festival lasts for 13 days. In Vrindavan this is one of the
biggest festivals of the year and Vrindavana is very crowded at this time,
literally hundreds of thousands of people from surrounding towns and
villages visit Vrindavan over this period in the auspicious sacred month of
Shravana (July-Aug). Opulence or simplicity, but often the swings are made
of gold or silver.
