RANNA PUJA RITUAL IN BANGABHOOMI !!!

“During the rainy season

in Bangabhoomi, the water level

rises up in rivers, ponds and LAKES;

on the last day of the Bhaadra month

in Bangabhoomi, people of Bangabhoomi perform a

ritual to worship Goddess Manasa and Vaastu SNAKES.

Whatever you cook on the last day

of Bhaadra month, you have to eat those

food items on the first day of

Aaswin month by regarding it as a PRASAD;

the overnight rice soaked in water is known as Paanta which

is having Vitamin B12 and a very high nutrient value and

also the dal vada, kachu saak, karela fry, little chingri fry,

Hilsha fry has its own delicious taste or SWAAD.

It is a belief in the rural areas of Bangabhoomi

that the snakes eat up the rats

and the crops remain safe as USUAL;

so to give respect to snakes, to safeguard their family members

from snake bites, to bring good luck by making Vaastu Snake happy,

every year, the Bangabhoomi people perform the Ranna Puja RITUAL.”- Arindam Sain
