Saanjhi Utsav

 

Saanjhi Utsav starts on Bhadrapad Shukl Poornima and lasts till Ashwin Krsna Amavasya.

Vaishnavs make different kind of Saanjhi and Saanjhi filled with colours are created from Ekadashi. Different kind of Saanjhi's are from flowers, colours, cow dung and water floating.

This Utsav is related to Priyaji, that's why this Utsav is important for Vaishnav connoisseurs.

It was started by Radha Raniji. First Radhaji created Saanjhi in Van(forest) with Lord Krsna and her colleagues. Creating Saanjhi with Lord Krsna in Van is most favourite for Radhaji. That's when Brijwasi adopted this Saanjhi Utsav to lure Lord Radha and Krsna.
