Odia Raja Festival #1st vlog after long time @XplorewithRanjan

Odia Raja Festival, Day-1. Meaning as below: Mother Earth’s Menstruation: It is believed that Bhudevi (Mother Earth) undergoes her annual menstrual cycle during these three days to prepare for fertility and the upcoming agricultural season. To avoid hurting the earth, all agricultural activities like plowing, digging, or cutting trees are strictly paused so the earth can rejuvenate. Young girls are treated like queens. They wear new traditional clothes, apply Alta (red dye) to their feet, and are exempted from barefoot walking and kitchen chores.
