"The Brij Raj Utsav has been going on for the last five years. It is our good fortune that such an event is held in our Brij. The local art, artists, shopkeepers, and vendors are given a major platform. There is also a separate section, offering different types of food. The cultural programs have been presented in a way that beautifully conveys the historical stories. This will continue in the future as well. This program is a matter of pride for Mathura," Hema Malini told ANI.

The 'Brij Raj Utsav' commenced on October 26 and will conclude on Wednesday, November 5. The 11-day-long festival has been drawing a massive crowd, owing to the unique blend of devotion, art, and local heritage.

While I appreciate the cultural aspect, I hope the local artists and vendors are getting fair compensation and recognition. Sometimes big names overshadow the real local talent that keeps these traditions alive.
