Works Synopsis
“Gajan” a Hindu folk festival is celebrated at different villages in West Bengal, India during the end of the month of “Chaitra” of the Bengali calendar followed by another festival named “Charak”. This festival is mainly worshipping Hindu Lord Shiva and Parvati before the start of the harvesting season. Gajan is actually connected to the people who are related to the agricultural community, directly or indirectly. They pray for the rains and better harvest and believe that this festival will give them prosperity by removing any sorrow and suffering which they faced in the past year. Kurmun a small village in the Bardhaman district of West Bengal, India magnificently celebrates this festival every year. During this festival Shiva devotees named gajan sanyasis to do several activities, gajan sanyasis painted their faces and then roam around the whole village and request some “Bhiksha” (begging) as a part of the celebration then dance with the human skull, I captured this photo series in 2018 during my visit to Kurmun village, Bardhaman district, West Bengal, India.
