PATHSALA: The historic Doul Mahotsav of Bhutepuwa in Baska district, has commenced with grandeur, marking its 125 year of celebration. Organized by the Bhutepuwa Bori Deul Uddjapan Samitti at Sri Sri Narasingha Kirtanghar, the festival will continue for seven days, featuring vibrant cultural and religious events.
Like every year, the festival started with great enthusiasm, drawing devotees and visitors from different parts of the region. The event includes Xattriya dance performances, naam-kirtan (devotional songs), and Holi festivities where devotees smear each other with colours as a mark of joy and devotion.
Every day of the festival is filled with religious and cultural programmes, drawing thousands of devotees from far and wide.
Devotees light incense sticks and earthen lamps, seeking the blessings of Lord Narasingha, and take part in various rituals. A significant highlight of today’s celebrations is the performance of a Homa Yajna (sacred fire ritual), a key part of the spiritual observances during the festival.
One of the major attractions of the festival is the ‘Doul Yatra’, in which the idols of Lord Krishna are carried in a grand procession, accompanied by traditional instruments and devotional chants. The festival holds deep cultural and spiritual significance for the people of the region and has been a tradition for over a century.
The organizers have made all necessary arrangements to ensure a smooth and joyous celebration. Thousands of devotees are expected to participate, making this year’s Doul Mahotsav another memorable occasion.
