This picture was taken of a Typical Village fair on the occasion of Maa Pitambari Puja celebrated in our ancestral village Pilkhudi (situated in West Bengal, India). We the Mukherjee family are the custodians of the Puja. Around 7-8 generations earlier, our forefathers had been handed over the idol of Maa Pitambari (Goddess of Snakes) by the Kotaals. The Kotaals had unearthed the idol and kept it with them. Few nights later, the gentleman who had discovered the idol, had a dream and Maa Pitambari instructed him to hand over the idol to us, the Mukherjees. Since then the puja is being celebrated with great devotion and enthusiasm every year in Sawan month on the last Panchami.
