West Bengal Holidays India

Bengal holidays is one of the most interesting parts of visiting India. In the past it was the mighty state Gauda.

In 1947 Bengal has been divided into east and western parts, first was declared as a part of the Muslim state Pakistan (in 1971 East Bengal was separated from Pakistan and became the independent state Bangladesh), and the second is the Indian state of West Bengal.

West Bengal holidays basically is in the delta of Gangs (but its northern part is extended to the Himalayas). This is a set of islands and a channel.

To the south of Calcutta - between Calcutta and the sea, a jungle was kept on islands (Sundarban reserve, a place of dwelling of tigers).

To the north from Calcutta there are rice and jute fields, and in foothills of the Himalayas (in Darjeeling District) there are tea plantations. Darjeeling, which is located on the West from Assam and also adjoining to China, represents a unique mountain area with snow tops of the Himalayas.

In clear days there is a view to the separate outlines of the Everest. Here at height of 2000 m above the sea level are settled tea plantations in the size of nearby 50 thousand acres.

During West Bengal holidays there are two main attractive festivals.

Durga Puja - It is carried out within 9 days of the Naravatri festival. The general prays in Bengal are organized daily in each place. Families go to visit each other. The idols are carried out by the procession for immersing in the river.

Nag Panchami is a Day of worship to the serpent. It came from the Doaric period. In this day, especially in villages, the worship to a cobra or to its image is a symbol of energy and well-being.

The magician goes with a cobra from the house to the house, begging. Women offer milk and the prepared rice for the snake and gather around to look, as snake moves under a melody pungi.

Within the day people in their houses worship to clay images of snakes, and immerse them in the river in the evening. In the south of India, especially in Kerala, temples of the snake are filled all the day long by people who worship to the stone or metal images of the space serpent.

Holidays in West Bengal are a great fun with all these festivals.
