About
Phulera Dooj
Phulera Dooj is observed on Phalguna Shukla Dwitiya, the second day of the bright fortnight of Phalguna. The name comes from phool, flower: on this day Shri Krishna is worshipped with flowers, and in the temples of Braj the deity is adorned with fresh blossoms while devotees play Holi with flower petals.
Phulera Dooj opens the joyful season that leads up to Holi. It is observed with bhajans, kirtan and offerings of flowers and sweets to Shri Radha and Krishna.
Tradition & Practice
Flowers for Krishna
Shri Radha and Krishna are decorated with fresh flowers, and petals are offered in place of colours.
Before Holi
Phulera Dooj marks the start of the festive days leading to Holi, especially in Mathura and Vrindavan.
