Celebrating Holi in Mayapur in West Bengal is truly different from other parts of the world. The festival of Holi is also known as the festival of colors. It is known as Dolpurnima in regional language, Bengali. This festival marks the victory of good over evil. To experience the main celebration and the enjoyment of this festival one must visit Mayapur.
Mayapur is a town in the state of Nadia in West Bengal, India. The small and beautiful town of Mayapur is located on the banks of river of Ganges in Nabadwip where it meets another river called Jalangi. This place is a site of the Hindu Mythology. At the center of the city there is a large temple of Sri Gaur Chaitanya. The temple is also known as the Iskcon Temple. This large temple is an important place of worship for Hindus. But apart from the other days in this temple, the day of Holi or Dolpurnima is extremely different. During the Dolpurnima devotes from all over the country as well as all over the world come here for the celebration. As the day of Dol Purnima arrives celebrations starts in this holy land of Mayapur. After the parikrama people gather for the Maha Milan and play the festival of colors. That day special bhog is cooked and people from far apart come here to enjoy Holi. People from foreign countries also come to enjoy the festival. The day is started with the darshan of Sri Gaur Hari at the temple. After that celebration of Holi begins in the field in front of the Iskcon Temple. Bhog(Food of God) service is also available for all the peoples.
At last my opinion to all of you that if you want to experience the real festival of Holi the Mayapur during the Holi is a must visit.
