The Gleam of Rajo

Every Oria girl waits for the day

When they celebrate Rajo with their friends and family

And too I..

Why wouldn't I will be interested in it

Not me alone, almost every girl wants to celebrate it in her best way

To make it more memorable forever.

Before the day of Rajo

There is the festive occasion called Rajo Sajobaja

On this day the females of the household complete the arrangements initially

As it's suggested not to do any household works during the festive occasion

The maidens arent allowed to walk barefoot on the five days of Rajo.

On the first day, it's known as Pahili Rajo

When I along with my friends wore new dresses

And went away to swing the day long

Also We ate the Special Poda pitha

Made specially for the purpose

Really all the days of Rajo are very enjoyable.

We miss it when it's gone

On the very last day known as Basumati Snana

Which signifies the bath of mother Goddess for purification

As it's believed that She is menstruated on Rajo

That implies even the mother Goddess has to follow every rule of Nature

Like the other girls do.

So She symbolises we females

Who are the hub of patience, dedication,perseverance etc

We worshipped the Goddess Earth on the last day

To seek her blessings to move on amidst thick n thins

Isn't it a fascinating-the beautiful message

Behind this Festive Occasion Rajo

That gleams us in its beauteous glue.
