Mahalaya:A Once-a-Year Popular Radio Prog - Page 6

Barnali,
Thans a lot for this wonderful thread. It was a ritual for my family to get up at dawn, had shower and listen Mahishashur Mardini. I think all of us grew up listening to Birendra Krishna Bhadra's narration. Your article took me back to my childhood.... my mother used to tell me and my sister how Durga killed Ashur. Thanks again.

Thanx Barnali di,

I am missing Shimla now.I used to wait for these days especially when the doors used to open and kali bari for darshan of the Murti they used to get from Bengal. Miss those soothing sounds at the time of Aarti and the smell of that dhoop.I wish I was there.Still i guess we all can celebrate here

Same here Vinnie. I still remember Shimla used to be filled with Bengali during this time. I used to go to kali bari too. Especially on Ashtami. One reason being the bhog that day used to be just excellent.😃 And the aarti on that day in the evening was just something I loved. Then there used to be dancing by all with the dhunuchi. I hope I am correct 😛

Then on Dashera I remember I used to take part in the emersion too. Mainly because they always were short of man power on that day 😆 And me with my friends and Bhaisa used to be there to help out.

Me too missing Shimla now Vinnie.....
