Mahalaya—Bengalis hold this tradition of waking up at 4 AM and listening to the Chandi Path narrated by Birendra Krishna Bhadra with such reverence, as if we aren’t already accustomed to staying awake until then in these modern times. You’d think this practice is carved into the pages of history, passed down through generations. But no, it’s not about rigid traditions or ancient scripts. It’s simply the unbridled flow of emotions that connects us deeply to this moment, year after year.
