'Material Moksha' would be the accurate phase if you ask me about my experience and feelings about the festival of Shivratri. I tried to explore Nimtala Shamshan Ghat but couldn't at the end point, cause the crowd was so crazy that it was not even possible to hold a camera. At that particular time I was the only one there having a camera and shoot everything around. People were drunk and doped and crazy animals. In the name of rituals, festive season most of the people were abusing the true form of a holy festival. A drunken man tried to push my camera off and shouted on me to talk to someone over the phone. I somehow managed to get escape. Little girls wearing saree worships for getting a good husband. Fuk here you demoralize the base education of a girl child. And the surprising fact is most of the girls looks like from good families. There were snake charmers abusing each other as the business was down. The crowd was full of young boys in between 20 and 30s. They were crazy drunken and doped. In short it was a clumsy chaos and the funny part is people were trying to find their god there. Doing fun in festival is something and behaving like a overdosed druggist is something else. In the name of god and religion this is pure abuse of culture and social balance. Festivals are for enlightenment of soul and purifying heart. Festivals are for relaxant and fun. And that was no fun boy. Shivratri is a sacrad festival. It must not organized this way. May be I am wrong, may be this is the way it is getting held every year from a long long time. But I still dont agree with the chaos and a scary situation.
