Corak Puja (commonly recognized as Chorak or Charak Puja) is one of rural Bengal’s most intense, visually striking, and spiritually profound folk religious traditions. Celebrated predominantly by Hindu communities just before the onset of the Bengali New Year, this ancient ritual is deeply anchored in agrarian spiritual systems, fertility worship, and divine protection. Dedicated to deities such as Lord Shiva and Dharma Thakur, the festival features raw, extraordinary displays of devotion—ranging from strict ritual fasting and fire-walking to traditional body-suspension and high-energy public processions.
Ras Purnima, the Manipuri community’s most sacred and visually sumptuous religious festival, is based on the Ras Leela, a classical dance-drama depicting the divine love of Radha and Krishna.
