"Pata doli katamata Mo bhai mundare suna mukuta Suna mukuta lo Disuthae jhata jhata"which
means the swing made for Raja is making a creaking noise, and look my
brother has a crown of gold on his head, it dazzles so brightly!Raja is
observed in the month of Jyestha (June), after a brief shower and when
the clouds begin to consolidate for the ensuing rains. For three days,
the farmers brace up for hard labour in their fields.
For every Oriya, Raja festival begins the festivities for the whole year. They look for these three days of fun and eating of specially made Poda Pitha cakes and spend hours in the rope swings hung from the high trees.
Raja is observed in the month of Jyestha (June), after a brief shower and when the clouds begin to consolidate for the ensuing rains. For three days, the farmers brace up for hard labour in their fields. The sun being less glaring, the earth readies itself for the sowing. This is a time for pleasure, meeting the near and dear ones. Those who work far from their homes try to come during this festival so that they can partake in the festive fervour. They bring gifts for everybody.
In tribal areas, the people also worship three stones or wooden stumps as the Bhumi Devata. Raja is the time when the Mother Earth gets menstruating and when this ends she is ready to bear fruit. Such belief also takes place in several other places around the country. During this period the Assamese people observe the three days as sacred for Goddess Kamakshya for the same reason.
Thanks Anshuman…
Wish U All A Happy Raja…..
