Jhulan Yatra, or Jhulan Purnima, is an important festival of Hinduism, especially for Vaishnavs. This festival starts on Ekadashi and lasts until Purnima. After Dol Purnima, another big festival for Vaishnavas takes place.
The swing festival started in the Dwapara era and was centered on Radhakrishna’s childhood memory of swinging with friends in Vrindavan. Jhulan is basically a festival of love and passion during the rainy season of Radhakrishna. Today, apart from Vrindavan, this festival is celebrated with great pomp in Mathura, Nabadwip, Mayapur, and other places of Vaishnava religion in the world.
