Well, as I mentioned ..there were aspects of this holiday that i enjoyed ..

i liked going to matya the night before to watch ‘holka burn’ (n of course i loved d parsad..my mom gave me her share so i had double)

i loved the chowtal singing..in matya but my aunty used to have the grp in her home to do it as well

i was fascinated as a kid…

with the sound of music ( wht do u call the instrument that they use to ‘clap’

i used to be mesmerized watching their hands n also watching the men sway as they sang!!..n esp with the lil a beer sprinkled on their white outfits n a bit of white powder on their faces , it was a beautiful site!!

i am still fascinated with chowtal singing to this day!!
