Dol Purnima 2026, falling on March 3, 2026, marks one of the most vibrant and spiritually uplifting festivals celebrated across West Bengal, Assam, Odisha, and various parts of Eastern India. Known as the festival of colours and devotion, Dol Purnima honours Lord Krishna and Radha, symbolizing eternal love, harmony, and the triumph of joy.
On this auspicious day, devotees carry Krishna idols on beautifully decorated palanquins, sing kirtans, and shower abir (gulal) in shades of pink, yellow, green, and blue. In Shantiniketan, the celebration transforms into the world-famous Basanta Utsav, filled with Tagore-inspired songs, dance, and a mesmerizing burst of spring colours.
Whether observed as Dol Jatra or Dol Utsav, the festival beautifully blends spiritual devotion, cultural heritage, and joyful festivity, making it one of the most cherished celebrations of the year.
