The Whispers of Poush Parbon Utsav
Poush Parbon” in Bengal, a cherished festival, has already made its way into domestic households. As a Bengali, We all have grown up witnessing several rituals which have become the part and parcel of our Bengali culture and traditions over the years.
Poush Parbon is observed on the final day of the Bengali month of Poush. According to Hindu philosophy, this day marks the sun’s northward journey from the Tropic of Capricorn to the Tropic of Cancer, known as Uttarayan. Across India, this occasion is celebrated in diverse ways under different regional names. In Tamil Nadu, it is called Pongal, while in Gujarat, it is known as Uttarayan, celebrated with kite flying and ‘phanus’ (lanterns). Many devotees also take holy dips in places like Prayag or Ganga Sagar (where the Ganges meets the Bay of Bengal) and offer prayers to the Sun God, seeking blessings and divinity.
In Bengal, Poush Parbon is synonymous with freshly harvested paddy and the luscious date palm jaggery known as ‘Khejurer Gur’ and ‘Patali.’ These ingredients are at the heart of numerous traditional Bengali sweet delicacies collectively called ‘Pithe.’ Classics such as ‘Patishapta,’ ‘Doodh Puli,’ ‘Puli Pithe,’ and ‘Rosh Bora’ are prepared with love, adding a touch of sweetness to the festive spirit
