Raja, associated with the agrarian culture is mainly observed by the young girls and women in families, largely covering the coastal part of Odisha. During the festival girls and women folks play in the traditional swing called ‘Doli’, have a variety of traditional pancakes called ‘Pitha’ and enjoy the special ‘Raja Pana’, the betel feast with a bunch of sweet masala. Traditional sports like Bagudi or Kabadi is being played by young girls and boys across village and community.
“Now a days we are living in the city and away from our root and communities. We are unable to observe the traditions and rituals which were an integral part of our life and culture, earlier. Thus our sincere endeavour is to bring the same feelings and flavour to the people here through Sajare Sajare Raja, a programme mixed with music, dance and a lot of fun”, says Jayashree Dhal, the founder of Survibration.
