The Indian festival also spelled as Phulera Duj or Phoolera Dooj falls between the festival of Vasant Panchami and Holi and is celebrated on the second day of the Shukla Paksha of the Phalgun month every year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">This year, March 4 marks the day of Phulera Dooj with dwitiya tithi beginning at 09:36 PM on March 3 and ending at 08:45 PM on March 4.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\">Which Hindu God is worshipped on Phulera Dooj?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The festival of Phulera Dooj is dedicated to Lord Krishna. &#8216;Phulera&#8217; originates from the Hindi word &#8216;phul&#8217; meaning flowers and Lord Krishna is believed to have played Holi with flowers on this auspicious day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">According to popular beliefs, while Krishna was engaged in his work in Vrindavan, his lover Radha in Mathura waited for his arrival. Eventually, Radha was upset and along with her sadness, flowers and cattle started dying. On learning this, Krishna immediately left for Mathura and reached the second day of Phalgun month. Krishna cheered Radha by playing flower-filled Holi with her.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>How is Phulera Dooj celebrated?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Phulera Dooj is largely celebrated in North India with great devotion and enthusiasm, especially in regions like Vrindavan, and Mathura.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Almost all the temples of Lord Krishna are beautifully decorated with religious events held all day long. The devotees of Lord Krishna visit the temples and spend the day singing \u2018bhajans\u2019 in praise of Lord Krishna and seek his blessings. At the end of the celebration, a special prasad is distributed among the devotees.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">A huge number of households across India are decorated with flowers and rangoli to celebrate the event. On this day, Lord Krishna is believed to shower his devotees with love and affection.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-size: 18pt;\"><strong>Importance of Phulera Dooj <\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The day of Phulera Dooj is known as \u2018abujh muhurat\u2019 meaning an auspicious day free from all dosha or defects. It is an ideal day to mark the beginning of any work. Since the festival also signifies the eternal love of Radha Krishna, couples with marriage plans can consider this auspicious day to get married.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">It\u2019s time to get into the spirit of Holi celebration as Phulera Dooj officially marks the arrival of the festival of colours.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Begin your celebration with flowers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">Happy Phulera Dooj!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff; font-size: 18pt;\"><a style=\"color: #0000ff;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instaastro.com\/blog\/gudi-padwa-history-about-gudi-food-and-rituals\/\">Also Read &#8211; GUDI PADWA: History, About Gudi, Food And Rituals<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Phulera Dooj The festival of Phulera Dooj symbolises the arrival&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":34463,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3427,40,36],"tags":[127],"class_list":{"0":"post-1200","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-english","8":"category-festivals","9":"category-hindu-culture","10":"tag-lord-krishna"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.9 (Yoast SEO v23.0) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Phulera Dooj \u2014 Why Is It Celebrated? - InstaAstro<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Discover the traditions and customs of Phulera Dooj, a festival marking the arrival of Holi in India.
