Dola Jatra is organized during the lunar month of
Phalgun. Beginning with the Poornima or the full moon day of the month,
Radha and
Krishna images from the Vaishnava temples are taken out for a ritual journey to the site of the fair amid chanting of
bhajans and kirtans. On the way the deities pay a visit to several villages, receiving homage and offerings from devotees. Chanting of spiritual songs and recitation of the
Bhagavata and other scriptures are usually organized at the site of the fair.
