Global InformationBuka Bhaona information
Buka Bhaona (transl. Mud pretense), is a special bhaona held in conjunction with the Nandotsav on the occasion of Krishna Janmashtami. The event was held at Puronigudam in Nagaon district and Jamugurihat in Sonitpur district respectively.[1] There are also many other bhaonas in Barpeta, Majuli, Charaideu and other areas.[2][3]
It is said that the road to Gokul became muddy and slippery due to heavy rains during the birth of Krishna and the butter, honey and oil brought by the devotees who went to see Krishna at the house of Nandaraja the next day. In this sense, the birth of Krishna is celebrated by symbolically pulling mud.[4]
