Along the nation’s eastern border, in the state of West Bengal, the Ganges River is revered as a life-giving force and sacred to those who practice the Hindu faith. In the southern Ganges, where the larger river gives way to smaller tributaries, well- preserved landmarks tell the tales of India’s ancient history, colonization, and the long road to independence. Remote villages – untouched by the commercialization of big cities – offer opportunities to experience the local cultures first-hand, and perhaps make a few new friends.

  • Bera Bhashan’ in Bengal1
    PUTTING THE RAFTS OUT TO SEA: Talking of ‘Bera Bhashan’ in Bengal1 Transforming Cultures eJournal, Vol. 3 No 2, November 2008 http://epress.lib.uts.edu.au/journals/TfC 2 Rila Mukherjee Professor of History, Hyderabad Central University, Hyderabad, India. Email: [email protected] and [email protected] Abstract Bera (raft) bhasan (sending out) is a ritual linking two societies and two landscapes: the maritime and the agrarian. After the monsoon, palm or plantain rafts are placed on the river to placate the gods. The bera bhasan that is practiced today is an amalgam of earlier practices of two communities-the Islamic and the Hindu. Arab merchants introduced this practice into Bengal when they prayed for safe passage at sea before venturing out. Similarly Hindu peasants would observe a variant of Bera Bhasan called sedo on the last day of pous or January, whereby they would placate the rain and river gods by setting out small rafts on water. On these flowers, sweets and lamps were placed to ensure a good harvest the following year. Therefore two worlds came together in this practice, the maritime and the rural, signifying two kinds of activity, mercantile and agrarian. In seventeenth-century Mughal Bengal it developed from a folk belief into a community practice. In eighteenth-century Nawabi Bengal it was co-opted by the state as pageantry and it is now a state-sponsored enterprise linking the Hindu and Muslim communities. Introduction Bera bhashan is a water ritual of rafts being set out to sea. As well as asserting political and economic control and promoting social harmony, the festival displays a desire to carve out a cosmic space through the seemingly endless negotiation between land and water by way of the raft or bera.

  • Inspection Note on Hazarduari Palace, Murshidabad, Dist
    INSPECTION NOTE ON HAZARDUARI PALACE, MURSHIDABAD, DIST. MURSHIDABAD, WEST BENGAL. I inspected Hazarduari Palace twice accompanied by Shri S K Dutta, Assistant Superintending Archaeological Engineer, Shri Sudipta Sen, Senior Conservation Assistant and Shri D. Moitra, Photographer Gr. II with a view to draw a comprehensive conservation plan of the building as well as holistic development of the Monument as Adarsha Smarak. Standing magnificently on the eastern bank of river Bhagirathi, this palace is known as Hazarduari because it contains about a thousand real and false doors. It was built by Nawab Nazim Humayun Jah (1829-37 A D). It was used for holding Durbar and as residence of high ranking English Officials. At present it is housing a period museum displaying a vast array of interesting exhibits which include life size painting of the- Nawab-s of Murshidabad, British Royal personages, silver thrones, palanquins, arms and armours, vases, ivory and marble objects and variety of many other objects. The following points are being furnished for consideration after inspection: 1. Colour washing with suitable colour has to be carried out immediately for its refurbishment. A Committee may be formed to suggest the modalities of the work. Patch repairing wherever necessary may be taken up before colour washing. Untidy wiring on outer facade of the building may also be re-fixed including the replacement of rain water pipes as per original. 2. The concrete road outside the main building within the complex has to be changed by metal road or by paver block road. The lime concrete road is getting damaged immediately and not lasting for long producing dirt and dust causing lot of problems to the visitors.

    Page 1 of 1 ATI Monograph 13/2006 For restricted circulation only A Probationer’s Training Diary COVER PAGE P. Bhattacharya Learning to Serve Administrative Training Institute Page 2 of 2 Government of West Bengal Page 3 of 3 ATI Monograph 13/2006 For restricted circulation A Probationer’s Training Diary TITLE PAGE P. Bhattacharya Learning to Serve Administrative Training Institute Government of West Bengal Page 4 of 4 Block FC, Bidhannagar (Salt Lake) Kolkata-700106 Page 5 of 5 PREFACE New entrants to the Indian Administrative Service and the West Bengal Civil Service (Executive) have to maintain a Training Diary as part of their district training. While supervising their work in the districts, the ATI faculty has found that in the majority of cases the probationers do not maintain their diaries properly, although these are intended to be records of the details of the training they undergo so that superior officers can check whether they have assimilated the proper lessons from the exposure in the field. During interactions with their Counsellors in the ATI, the trainees have complained that they are handicapped by not having an example to follow. A similar handicap has been reported regarding writing reports of enquiries assigned to probationers in the district. In view of this feedback, the ATI is publishing the diary I maintained in detail as probationer in Malda in 1972, trusting that it will provide civil service probationers with an example of how a training diary can be maintained. We were supposed to send the National Academy of Administration an official training diary and also maintain a personal one.
