Chat Puja in the city
I have endless friends from Bihar and they have narrated countless number of times about their most religious, yet a very tough puja- the chat puja.
House cleaning is a never ending process, a run up till the previous day of the religious festivities. Fasting is part of the whole process and men, women and children wake up early in the morning to offer their obeisance to the river.
This time in November, I caught up with the Bihari people residing in the city while they performed their puja over two days near the Brahmaputra. And I had so much fun!
......When in Assam, we are lucky to see the whole of India!!
