Dola Purnima is one of the most popular festivals in Odisha. It coincides with the Holi festival but is celebrated for six days. It begins six days – on Falgun dasami day – before Poornima (full moon) in the month of Falgun.
Worshipping of Radha and Krishna in the swing festival is the main event during the six-day long festival.
