Phulera Dooj

Why it is celebrated

Phulera Dooj falls on Phalgun Shukla Dwitiya, when Braj plays Holi with flowers along with Radha and Krishna. From this day the festive spirit of Holi begins in Braj. It is believed the day is so auspicious that no separate muhurat is needed for good work, so it is called an abujh muhurat.

The story

Once Shri Krishna became so busy with his work that for many days he could not come to meet Radha Rani. Radha ji grew sad. It is said that her sadness made the gardens of Braj wilt too; the flowers dried up and even the gopis fell silent.

When Krishna ji came to know of this, he went at once to meet Radha ji. As soon as he arrived, Radha ji's face lit up, and in no time the wilted plants turned green again and flowers bloomed all around.

Laughing, Krishna ji plucked a flower and tossed it at Radha ji. Smiling, Radha ji showered flowers on him in return. Then the gopis and gwalas joined the game, and a Holi of flowers began everywhere.

That day was Phalgun Shukla Dwitiya. Since then, on this day, Holi is played with flowers along with Radha and Krishna.
