দিনমজুর মামুন টুকরি মাথায় দাড়িয়ে, পুরান ঢাকা ছবি: মনিরুল আলম
সকাল সকাল মেঘ’কে নিয়ে ছুটলাম স্কুলে তার ভর্তি পরীক্ষা আছে । এ বছরও মেঘ’কে নিয়ে শুরু হয়েছে ভর্তি যুদ্ধ যুদ্ধ খেলা ! আহা—আমাদের শিক্ষা ব্যবস্থা !
ঘূর্ণিঝড় ‘ফেথাই’ দূর্বল হয়ে পড়েছে কিন্তু এর প্রভার পড়েছে—সারা দেশে । গত দুই দিনে মানুষের দুর্ভোগ বেড়েছে অনেক । একদিকে নিম্নচাপ আর অন্য দিকে শীত । জানা গেলে; সামনেই শৈত প্রবাহ আসছে— আসছে ৩০ ডিসেম্বর জাতীয় সংসদ নির্বাচন ।
গতকাল মেঘ’কে নিয়ে বাসায় ফিরলাম বৃষ্টিতে ভিজে । আজ ছাতা নিয়ে বের হয়েছি; বৃষ্টি নেই— সূর্য মামারও দেখা নেই তবে আবহাওয়া একটা গুমোট ভাব রয়েছে । স্কুল গেটে দাড়াতেই হাতে একটা লিফলেট ধরিয়ে দিল—ভোট চাই ! আবার কেউ কেউ নতুন স্কুলের ঠিকানার লিফলেট হাতে গুঁজে দিচ্ছে !
দিনমজুর মামুনের সাথে কথা হলো — ইট টানার টুকরিটা মাথায় দিয়ে, টুপি মাথায়— একটা গামছা শরীরে জড়িয়ে দাড়িয়ে আছেন, আজকের মতো তার ইট টানার কাজ শেষ। একটু পরেই পাওনা বুঝে ফিরে যাবেন; ভোর রাইতে উঠছি, আইজ ইট টানার কাজ পাইছিলাম— কোনদিন কাজ পাই আবার পাই না । আইজ মোট ৮০০ টাকা কামাই করছি । সে ঢাকা শহরে এসেছেন কয়েক বছর হলো, দিনমজুর হিসাবে কাজ করছেন । মামুনের সাথে কথা বলতে বলতে আমরাও ফিরে চলি—আমাদের গন্তব্যে . . .
I thinks it’s a —Light Pray Worship events ! The environment gradually turn from darkness to light. As an eyewitness I delighted to observed it, last week I was their and to do coverage a beautiful events. It’s Hindu religious worship.They called“Rakher Upobash” or “Kartik Brati”.
I takes on my position and than closely observe the events. The ritual begins after a day long fast to all devotees has been going to their temple for join worship during the worship they carries with earth made oil lamps, banana leaves, various fruits, holy book with all religious manners; they sits on the temple ground and than praying with sacred songs and music; they pray for their love ones, the environment creates with smoke and spiritual sprit, after their prayers then they brake fast.
Lokenath Brahmachari who is called Baba Lokenath was an 18th century Hindu saint and philosopher in Bengal. Sometimes he is even considered to be a living god. Hindu devotees fast and pray in earnest to the gods for their favors during the ritual traditionally. #Dhaka #Bangladesh
