🎶 Musical Mastery
Kalpana Patowary, known for her deep roots in Bhojpuri folk and mastery of traditional forms like Birha, Kajri, and Chaiti, brings authenticity and raw emotion to her Chhath song performance. Her voice carries the essence of Maithili and Bhojpuri culture, making listeners feel the sanctity and soul of Chhath Puja, one of the most spiritually rich festivals in eastern India.
🌅 Chhath Puja – A Ritual in Sound
Chhath is more than a festival — it’s a devotional, sun-worshipping ritual that spans days of fasting, purity, and offerings to the setting and rising sun. Through Kalpana’s performance:
-
The ghats, soop, and arghya come alive.
-
You feel the presence of folk traditions, handed down through generations.
-
It’s as if the rituals are unfolding right on stage, transcending time and place.
