Folk Customs and Ritual Worship of the Rarh Region in the Light of Bengali Folk Culture Souvik Saha, Student, Department of Bengali, Krishnanagar Government College, West Bengal, India | ||
ABSTRACT | ||
The folk culture of Bengal, especially in the Rarh region, shows a deep connection between people, nature, and religious belief. It is a way of life where daily activities, faith, and environment are closely linked. Rituals like Jitashtami, the worship of Keshabasini, and Malancha Devi show how people mix spiritual belief with their real-life needs. These traditions are not only about prayer. They help people deal with fear, sickness, uncertainty, and problems of life. In these practices, both good and harmful forces are respected. People worship gods and also symbolic animals like foxes and vultures. This shows how humans try to understand fear, death, and danger in their own cultural way. Women play a very important role in these rituals, and they help keep these traditions alive in families and communities. Nature is also very important in Bengal’s folk culture. Trees, crops, and plants are seen as symbols of life, growth, and stability. These beliefs also help protect nature. These rituals bring people together and reduce social differences like caste. Overall, the folk culture of Bengal shows a strong vision of unity between humans, society, and nature, where everything is connected and meaningful. | ||
