DESCRIPTION OF THE CAR FESTIVAL IN
KISHORGANJ
In author's birthplace, the quarter-to-four-anna zamindar house was famous for the car festival of Lord Krishna that was held in its grounds. That festival was held once in every year during the monsoon season. Though it rained every year, the huge crowd gathered at the festival ground. Also, the children like the author went to the fair under the supervision of the servants. Children were given money to enjoy the fair and buy toys, dolls. In the fair, there were variety of different toys. The toy called "Spoilt Baby" was most popular toy among the children. Also, there were clay made toys like cats, hounds in chains, cows, birds etc. Those toys seemed very real in colour and design. The children whistled the palm or coconut leave trumpets. When the car of Lord Krishna was drawn, no child was allowed to go near the car as it might cause fatal accident. Sometimes, as a belief, few men immolated their lives under the wheel of the car. Thus, the car festival of Lord Krishna was celebrated in the birthplace of the author.
