Charak Puja

Today, the last day of 1417 - Bangla year. On this day, Charak Puja or
Gajon celebration throughout rural Bengal (including Kolkata) can be
seen. It is being observed with festivity. Today, as the Choitra
sankranti, the month-long 'brata' was completed and after the rituals
of worshiping Lord Shiva - the devoted pilgrims taking pain on their
bodies as we can see in the pictures here. The crowd formed a mela or
fair indirectly.
