Have you heard of Roll Royce Holi?⁣ ⁣ The Rolls Royce Holi, a celebration in which a vintage model of the car is used as a chariot of Lord Krishna and his beloved Radha, is unique to Kolkata.⁣ ⁣ Rolls Royce car that once belonged to Rudyard Kipling,is used in this Holi. After using the car for six years, Kipling is believed to have sold it to Kumar Ganga Dhar Bagla in 1927. Since then, the car, a rare variant of the Rolls Royce with the chassis number #6UE, became a moving temple for Radha and Krishna deities at the Bagla family’s Satyanarayan temple, the main organiser of this Holi procession.⁣ ⁣ On the 10th day of Fagun, the procession starts from Satyanarayan Jee Temple in Kalakar Street, crosses the Howrah Bridge and moves through the Burrabazar area to reach Shri Ishwar Satyanarayanjee Temple at Mukharam Kanoria Road, where the deities are kept for a few days.⁣ ⁣ Dry colours form part of the extravagant Holi celebration as gulal and flowers are thrown by those watching the procession from the buildings around. Hindu religious songs or bhajans are played, and drums and cymbals are used as part of the procession. Thousands of devotees dance and throw gulal as the procession progresses through the lanes and bylanes of Burrabazar.⁣ ⁣ Holi festival, Holi in Kolkata, Kolkata Holi, Colours of India, Festival of India, Holi⁣ ⁣ #holi #rollsroyceholi #Kolkata #holifestival #festivalofindia #coloursofindia #westbengal #westbengaltourism
