Coming from a punjabi background diwali and bhai dooj meant the end of the festive season for the year because the wait for holi is a long one…. However this year was different, as this year marked a new experience of divinity and festivity in the form of chatth pooja (thanks to my husband!!! For this new experience). Though i have been married for two years now but it was only this year that we could manage our respective work leaves for a short visit to patna. My MIL is an avid follower of chatthi maiyya and has keeping the difficult fast for around 7 years now… The experience was of pure divinity, it was amazing to witness the complete city come together for the pooja with each household helping the senior woman(vrati) to manage with the 36 hour long fast…
