The three-day long Shri Krishna Doul Mahotsav has begun in historic Barpeta Xatra, which was established by Mahapurush Madhabdeb. Starting today with xatriya customs and traditions, the event will end on March 22.

The first day that is today is known as 'Gandhajatra'. On March 21, the second day is known as the 'Bhor Doul' and the third and last day, March 22, is called phakua or suweri.

This Mahotsav fills the hearts of all the people of Barpeta with fervour and colour. Holigeets are performed on all of these days. These folk songs are the compositions in praise of Lord Krishna. People from across Assam and beyond visit Barpeta Satra during the doul utsav.
