Bihula Festival

 


Bihula is a prominent folklore in some portions of Bengal, Bihar, and Jharkhand. It is also culturally rich because the name is recorded in old Hindu sagas and has been passed down traditionally. The story focuses on the serpent goddess Mansa and shows how she overcame discrimination to become a goddess to all by establishing herself as one among the common people.


Special Ashtanag rituals are offered to Devi during the Asaahad, the Shravan month of the traditional Hindu calendar. Some say that to save one's life from snake bites and ease the life of kids one has to offer her prayers. District Bhagalpur in Bihar has a major festival-like fair organized to recognize the Goddess and her kindness, which is also called Bihula-Bishari. It is dominated by arts crafts, plays, and shows that showcase snakes as their centres. The splendid Manjusha craftsmanship has always been a big part of this festival. People aware of the folklore in the prominent regions take part in the yearly celebration.
