Rath-Yatra 2013 At Nalikul

Image
Rath-Yatra is not only the custom of Puri, Mahesh or any big cities, it is the tradition of centuries that remain within the lifestyle of rural Bengal. I observed the Rath-Yatra of Nalikul, one of the oldest area of Hooghly district, where the main profession of common people is cultivation. And as usual they observe traditional festivals earnestly. Rath-Yatra is one of them. -- A. B.

Mahesh Rath Yatra Festival 2013

Image
Yesterday, I went to Mahesh, the ancient village of town Serampore in Hooghly district, to observe the holy festival of Lord Jagannath - Rath yatra - the biggest after Puri, and grabbed the colourful hues of its vividness and enthusiasm amongst people of not only locale but across Bengal. It was so crowded that you can't imagine. I liked the day very much in spite of excessive heat and humidity in the air. -- A. B.

Image Of Rural Bengal

Today I was going to a village of rural Bengal to keep the invitation. At noon, clouds covered the sun and witnessed a fair spell of thundershower. After lunch, while I was returning home, watched a little girl was going in front of me with a school bag on her back. It was a calm afternoon after a spell of rains. And the doors of the rural houses and shops were shut. I felt the loneliness of the girl and the aloof surrounds. -- A. B.
