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.

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.

The planet's temperature is rising. The trend is clear and unmistakable. Globally, the average surface temperature has increased more than one degree Fahrenheit since the late 1800s. Most of that increase has occurred over just the past three decades. We are the cause. We are overloading our atmosphere with carbon dioxide, which traps heat and steadily drives up the planet’s temperature. All these carbons come from the fossil fuels —coal, natural gas, and oil—plus the loss of tree. China is the highest contributor (27%) for carbon emission followed by USA(17%),Russia(5%) and India(5%). Kyoto Protocol, ia an international treaty, held at Kyoto city Japan in December,1997 which aimed to reduce the emission of gases that contribute to global warning. Inforce since 2005, the protocol called for reducing the emission of six greenhouse gases in 41 countries plus the European Union during the “commitment period” 2008-12. It was widely hailed as the most significant environment treaty ever negotiated.
