Did Raja Krishnachandra of Krishnanagar start Jagatdhatri Pujo? 🧵 Absolutely not. Going back to 1300s, that’s about 400 years before 1700s during Krishnachandra’s reign, Bengali pandit Shulapani Bhattacharya, in his Smritigrantha, mentions the worship of Devi Jagatdhatri 1/6

Not only Jagatdhatri Pujo, but Krishnachandra’s legend is also linked to popularising Kali Pujo and Annapurna Pujo as well. As per records, the claim that Krishnachandra instructed landlords under him to organise large-scale Jagatdhatri Pujos! 5/6

But then, popular legend of Krishnachandra starting Jagatdhatri Pujo after being released from Mughal imprisonment can be correct to an extent, not in starting it, but in mainstreaming and popularising it, which became easier when a king patronised it. 4/6

The night of Halloween isn’t dark or dreary up here in Bengal, as Maa Jagatdhatri illuminates it all with her sheer presence and grace! Some random dumps from Jagatdhatri Pujo. Though it’s the bidding night, the essence carries on ✨🪷🙌
