  • Śāktô Rāsa (Śākta Rāsa, Shaakta Raash, Shaakta Raasa or Shaakto Raas; Bengali: শাক্তরাস) is the most celebrated festival of Nabadwip, West Bengal, India. This festival is celebrated thirty-five days after the autumnal Durgā Pūjā celebration or fifteen days after Kālī Pūjā in Kartik Purnima. To the people of Nabadwip, Rash Festival is everything. The entire commonwealth eagerly waits for this festival all the year round. The main features of Nabadwip Rash are to make huge Mūrtis with clay and to worship Shakti. Every Mūrti has an artistic design, a variety of imagination, religious discourse, and deep understanding of the scholars, which help entertain innumerable people. Cartoonist Chandi Lahiri said that the hugeness of clay Mūrtis differs from any other festival as Nabadwip's Mūrtis are shapely and symmetric despite their light weight and enormous proportions. (en)
