Shaitori Mao by Suchandra Bhattacharya [Hardcover]

Shashti Thakur is worshiped in every house of Bengal with joy and festivity. The physical image of Shasthidevi is worshiped as an artistic and cultural center in various districts of Shaitol region North Bengal. The reflection on the social status and deprivation of women in this nearly four hundred year old vow is surprisingly relevant even in the present age. The subject is almost extinct today due to lack of promotion or conservation initiatives. Although some writings have been done in isolation, this is probably the first attempt to record them as a whole. Suchandra Bhattacharya's 'Shaitori Mao' is a sincere revelation of the end.
