Bhubaneswar: June 14 (Tuesday) marked the beginning of Odisha’s three-day festival – ‘Raja Parba’. The website of Odisha Tourism notes that the very first day of this three-day-long festival is called Pahili Raja, which is also considered the last day of Jestha (summer).
The second day is known as Raja Sankaranti; it is the first day of the month Asadha (monsoon).
In the local dialect, the concluding day is called Bhuin Dahana, also known as Sesa Raja (last day).
As a matter of fact, in some parts of the regions, the festival actually lasts for four days, with the fourth day being Basumata Puja (bathing and praying of mother earth).
