GUWAHATI: Celebrating the advent of spring and honouring the eternal love of Radha and Lord Krishna, the Dol Utsav commenced with fervour and joy in Barpeta, Assam.

Located approximately 95 kilometers away from Guwahati city, Barpeta adorns itself to partake in the exuberant festival of Holi, known locally as Dol Utsav or Dol.

As the festivities entered its second day, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma graced the celebration at Barpeta Satra, leading the rituals by sprinkling phaku (colours).

Amidst eager anticipation, the Chief Minister received a warm welcome from devotees upon his arrival at Barpeta Satra.

Engaging actively in the sacred traditions amidst melodious chants and rhythmic hymns, Chief Minister Sarma extended his services at the Akshaya Banti and Guru Ashana of the Satra.

Immersing himself in the colourful spirit of Holi song performances, the Chief Minister took to social media to expressed his gratitude.

“The Doul Utsav in Barpeta, observed with full traditional fervour, holds special significance in the hearts of every Assamese. Blessed to have been a part of this year’s festivities along with a sea of people, I invite everyone to visit Barpeta Satra and experience Holi here,” he wrote.

The Dol Utsav exemplifies the unique culture of Barpeta Satra, recognised as one of Assam’s most revered Vaishnavite centres.

The festival spans three to five days, known as “Burha Dool” for three days and “Deka Dol” for four or five days.

Traditionally, the celebration aligns with the month of “Phagun Purnima” (full moon) for four days and “Chot Purnima” (full moon) for three days.

The event attracts tourists and devotees from India and abroad, who partake in the religious and cultural procession, singing Holi geet and revelling in dance.

On the final day, known as “Phakua” or “Suweri”, witnesses the Gods being paraded in dols, as people offer prayers and sprinkle phaku at the Gods’ chariots.
