💨 Abstract

Tourists gathered at Sonajhuri Haat, Santiniketan, West Bengal, for the annual Dol Jatra festival, celebrating Holi. The event was not banned by the local government or forest department, despite BJP claims. Visva-Bharati university stopped public participation in its spring festival in 2019 due to overcrowding. UNESCO granted World Heritage Status to Santiniketan in 2023.
