Om Namah Shivay Gajan Festival
Hindu devotees participate in Gajan rituals in Howrah, West Bengal, on April 14, 2026, marking the end of the Bengali New Year with acts of faith and devotion to Lord Shiva. Participants, known as Sanyasis and Sanyasins, perform Argi puja by lying prostrate around the Shivlinga, while other rituals reflect endurance, sacrifice, and spiritual discipline rooted in centuries-old traditions.
