There is a holy event called Charak Puja that takes place in West Bengal and the region of southern Bangladesh. The ancient traditions and practises that have been passed down through the generations of devout believers are deeply ingrained in this holy festival.
One sticks out in particular among the many rituals that are performed throughout this celebration. It is a rite that calls for the believers to decorate their bodies with brilliant hues and artistic depictions of the various gods.
You cannot help but be in amazement and astonishment as you watch this amazing spectacle because you are seeing regular people turn into artists. They don't work as professional artists and don't regularly hone their skills. They have received this precious wisdom from their ancestors, making them masters of their craft.
The artistic prowess on exhibit during Charak Puja is unquestionably evidence of the persistence of myth and folklore. Because by engaging in this age-old rite, believers honour the gods and join a timeless custom that has been passed down through the ages.

Charak Puja in West Bengal: A Traditional Festival Celebrated with Great Fervor..
On the day of Chaitra Sankranti in the month of April, the festival is typically observed. A few days before the festival day itself, preparations begin.
It takes a lot of planning and effort from the locals to put on the festival, which involves more than just performing the rituals.
It's wonderful to see how the festival fosters a sense of community by uniting people from various walks of life. The festival is incredibly special and alluring from a religious standpoint because of the fervent devotion to Lord Shiva and the strength of the rituals.
Overall, Our experience of working on the documentary seems to have been very rewarding and enlightening. I'm sure this documentary will showcase the beauty and grandeur and the story of Charak Puja and inspire many to learn more about this unique festival.
