Charak and Gajan
By our Culture Correspondent
Charak and Gajan are folk-religious observances near the close of the Bengali year, associated with Shiva and rural devotion. Processions, vows, and community performances mark the occasion.
“These observances express popular devotion and mark the seasonal turning toward the new year. Local performance traditions strengthen village bonds and cultural continuity.”
