Purulia is a very beautiful district of West Bengal – Rupasi Bengala. In general, the soil of
Purulia is rough-dry and hard, but till the natural beauty of this district catches not only
the eyes of the artists but of the common people also. Here in this district there are 13
Parbans (festivals) in 12 months; the life of the people here cannot be imagined without the
festival. Among those Bhadu is a popular folk-festival of Purulia; according to the folkresearchers, this festival is about 800 years old. Through the observation of this festival,
various hopes and aspirations of women’s life are expressed for the fulfilment. According
to Bengali almanac, this festival starts from the first day of the month Bhadra in every year
and ends on the last day of the same month. Village girls and women perform Bhadu Puja
every evening with offering songs. The stories of Ramayana, Mahabharata and Puranas,
along with the current social problems of women, are spread through the lyrics and music
of these songs. Again, through these stories people’s education is spread. There are many
opportunities also to use these songs in modern education too. | |
