Durga Puja preparations under way at Badarpur
Correspondent
BADARPUR, Sept 30 - With the annual Autumn festival just around the corner, members of over a hundred community puja committees at the railway township here are presently on an overdrive to get their act together so that the five-day festivities from October 5 may be accomplished without any hiccups.
With the traditional drummers, popularly known as ‘dhakis’, already flooding the township, their presence has added to the overall festive ambience. One can already hear the rhythmic beats of their ‘dhaks’. Braving occasional inclement weather and steep prices, citizens representing every strata of society are witnessed making a beeline to the heavily stocked bazaars for making festive purchases.
A few rituals that go with the pujas are inauguration by distinguished personality, Sasthi puja, ‘Kala Bou - aanayan’, ‘pratima sthapan’, ‘nave patrika prabesh’, ‘anjali pradan’, ‘anno-bhog seva’, ‘aarati’ competition, ‘Chandi paath’, ‘Sandhi puja’, Kumari puja, ‘mahayagya’, various saradiya cultural functions, Dasami puja, women’s ‘sindoor khela’, ‘Vijaya sovayatra’, ‘santir-jal-sparsha’, ‘Vijaya mistimukh’, among others.
Significant puja pandals here this season include RailwayAnandadham Kalibari Puja Committee, Jangla Kalibari Puja Committee, Railway Traffic Colony Puja Committee, GRP Colony Sarbajanin Puja Committee and Badarpur ST Road Durga Puja Committee, to name only a few. The last-named puja committe is credited with stepping into its 35th year of celebration. Noteworthy too is the fact that the Badarpur Ghat Devendra Nagar Sarbajanin Durga Puja will be an all-women affair.
The Badarpur Town Committee has in the meantime made special arrangements to enhance civic amenities throughout the festive days. It has resolved to supply drinking water twice a day, provide sufficient lighting arrangement, and maintain cleanliness. The police administration too has gone the extra mile to ensure peace and tranquility in the entire Karimganj district, SP Mihir Goswami informed this newspaper. Besides Badarpur, Silchar, Karimganj, Hailakandi, Lakhipur and several other places of Barak Valley too are preparing to celebrate Durga Puja. source: assam tribune
