Gajan Festival at Srikhanda Bhoothnath temple

Gajan is a Hindu festival celebrated mostly in the Indian state of West Bengal. It is associated with such deities as Shiva, Neel and Dharmathakur.

The word gajan in Bengali comes from the word garjan or roar that sannyasis (hermits} emit during the festivities

Alternatively, the word gajan is considered a combination of parts of two words - ga is from the word gram meaning village and jan is from the word janasadharan meaning folk. In this sense gajan is a festival of village folk.(source: wikipedia)

On last bengali month Chaitra(march-april) The Gajan festival occured on Srikhanda bhoothnath temple. Bhothnath means the lord of ghosts.It was start on 14th chaitra continue to 30th chaitra.

Dol jatra at Srikhanda thakur bari Dol Purnima

Holi festival is celebrated as Dol Purnima or Dol Jatra or Dol Yatra in Bengal. It is celebrated on Falgun Purnima, the Full Moon day in Falgun month. Dol Purnima is dedicated to Lord Sri Krishna and the festival is also known as Basontotsav. Dol Purnima also marks the birthday of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu.Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu once visited Vrindavan, where he observed the Holi festival. After his return to Bengal, he pondered deeply and decided to introduce the festival but in a different form. It came to be known as Dolyatra.Shri Chaitanya said to his followers, "Go to the Krishna temple on that day, and apply red powder and red colour to Krishna. Then you should play with the red powder and colour amongst yourselves." And those who gave red powder and colour to others would also feed them with malpoa, the delectable sweet. So it is neither Holi festival nor Phaguya – it is the Dolyatra of Shri Krishna.In the days of Mahaprabhu, the prevailing rule was to seek the prior permission of the person to whom you were going to give the red powder. If that person gave permission, then only could you smear him with coloured powder, and then treat them to malpoa.(source:from internet)
