Happy Nuakhai-2015

  

Nuakhai, a festival which is celebrated with great eagerness by the people exclusively of  Western Odisha to acknowledge the benevolence of the Mother Earth. “Nua” means “New” and “Khai” means “to have”. The festival is also known as “Nabanna”.”Naba” means “New” and “anna” means “Rice”. Since cultivation is the major means of livelihood for people of western odisha especially for the inhabitants of Sambalpur, Bargarh, Jharsuguda, Deagarh, Bolangir, Sundargarh, Nuapada, Sonepur, Boudh District, Nuakhai is observed in every family with jollity and zeal to welcome the new paddy crop on the fifth day of “Bhadraba” month of Odia calendar, the day after “Ganesh Chaturthi”. Moreover, it is a great festival which tells about the unity, brotherhood, social harmony. All the people irrespective of their caste, creed and colour forget their past differences by greeting each other on that day which is  popularly called “Nuakhai Juhar”.

      This great festival is being celebrated today with must enthusiasm. May “Maa Samaleswari” shower her blessings upon all of you and your family for healthy and prosperous life.On the eve of Nuakhai, AIPEU(Gr-C),Sambalpur Divisional Branch do hereby offer all of you “Nuakhai Juhar”.
