Bagaha, dialogue formula:
The holy month of Sawan marks the beginning of festivals. However, this year all festivals are delayed by one month due to the two-month duration of Sawan.
Despite the change in month, two festivals of Sanatan Dharma, namely Makar Sankranti and Vishwakarma Puja, always maintain their scheduled dates. Makar Sankranti is celebrated on 14th January, while Vishwakarma Puja is celebrated on 17th September. This year, these festivals will be celebrated on their respective dates, followed by Teej on 18th September.
Keeps Teej fast for husband’s long life
On Teej, married women observe a fast and worship Lord Shiva for the protection and long life of their husbands. It is believed that Mother Parvati, in order to attain Lord Shiva as her husband, performed rigorous penance and fasting for several months.
Upon successfully completing her penance, Lord Shiva accepted her as his wife and blessed her with unbroken good fortune. Since then, married women observe Teej fast with the hope of receiving the blessings of unbroken good fortune.
Rishi Panchami festival on 19th September
Acharya Rajeev Ranjan Mishra, a resident of Naraipur, stated that on 17th September, the death anniversary of Dev Shilpi Lord Vishwakarma is celebrated as Vishwakarma Puja. The preparations for prayers are underway in mechanical workshops, garages, and various small and large industries.
Painting work is also nearing completion in many places. Teej will be observed on the second day of Vishwakarma Puja, followed by the celebration of Rishi Panchami festival on 19th September.
