Next month today, September 29 will be Maha Panchami.
This is the day when the Goddess is brought on a wooden cart to most pandals or households.
The complex where I live in Kolkata, the Goddess is carried on a huge wooden cart, which i...s pulled by scores of men.
The Goddess and her entourage are brought in after midnight when the city is finally silent and the traffic has lessened.
These men pull the cart and even balance it on their shoulders all the way to our housing societies. Their unanimous cries can be heard from a distance. 'Jor lagake....dhirey cholo, abar cholo, bolo Durga Mai Ki Jai' are some of the familiar cries we can hear from a distance.
These cries are just the beginning of a week of festivity, fun and louder cries.
31 days more!
