The festival advents on the first day of Bhadro the fifth month in Bengali Calendarand lingers till the end of the month.
It has its ancestries in the story of a princess called Bhadravati (Bhadravati) of Panchakote who committed suicide. Bhadravati’s devotees make an image of her and sing and dance before it throughout the month. On the last day of Bhadra, they accumulate on the shore and engross the image in the water. Songs, chieflyaiming on nuptial, form the foremostallure of the festival in which both proficient groups and amateurs take part. Revelriesinvolve fairs and cultural programmes. Bhadu gaan, a bosom chunk of Bhadu festival echoes the shades of rural society. It used to be very prevalent in Burdwan, Bankura and Midnapore. But in Birbhum the persistence of this exclusive genre is vulnerable by the rising fame of cinema and television. Bhadu songs are composed impromptu and hummed on each night of the festival;portray the Goddesses as young girls. They illustrate Bhadu with panache as how they will be entertained. Since Bhadu is spinster, her songs are sung mostly by spinster Lasses. Dancing and playing drums convoys Bhadu.
The festival hosted individual film makers who screened their short films. A total of seven such films were screened of which three films premiered for public screening namely, Abrupt, Come Cross the Line and Antenna.
Media Express was the official web partner of this festival.
