'Raas Lila' celebrated in Tripura to mark Lord Krishna's love life

People of Agartala celebrated 'Maha Raas' with religious zeal.

'Maha Raas' is a festival celebrating the love life of Lord Krishna.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the gathering is comparatively less than previous years.

Girls in their traditional dresses, danced around the idols of Lord Krishna and Radha.

Devotional songs were also sung by the singers throughout the night at a temple.

Tripura had a cultural and traditional bond with the Manipur kingdom that started more than 360 years back through matrimonial alliances.

Rass is a symbol of love and communal harmony where people of all communities gather here to celebrate forgetting all differences and get united and in this small state which once burned in the flames of militancy and communal violence for more than two decades.
