Raipur : A delegation of the Goncha Mahaparva Organizing Committee led by Jagdalpur MLA Shri Kiran Dev paid a courtesy visit to Chief Minister Shri Vishnu Dev Sai at his residence tonight. The delegation invited the Chief Minister to participate in the Goncha Mahaparva organized at the divisional headquarters Jagdalpur. He informed that this festival, which is being celebrated continuously for more than six hundred years, is a symbol of social harmony and love in Bastar.
This festival, which is the longest running festival after Bastar Dussehra, has started from June 11 with Chandan Yatra. The representatives informed that under the festival, Netrotsav Puja will be organized on June 26 and Shri Goncha Rath Yatra on June 27. The Mahaparva will conclude with Bahuda Goncha Rath Yatra on July 5. On this occasion, the delegation honored Chief Minister Shri Sai by presenting 'Tupki' as per the tradition of Bastar.
It is noteworthy that there is a centuries-old tradition of firing Tupki in the Gocha Mahaparva. The tribals of Bastar prepare Tupki from a poly bamboo tube, in which the fruit of a special plant is put and pressed forcefully, which produces a sound like a firecracker. Chief Minister Shri Sai expressed gratitude for the invitation and extended his heartfelt wishes for the Gocha Mahaparva.
The delegation included the President of the 360 House Aranyak Brahmin Society, Mr. Vedprakash Pandey, the President of the Goncha Committee, Mr. Chintamani Pandey, along with Mr. Hemant Pandey, Rajneesh Panigrahi, Narendra Panigrahi, Sudarshan Panigrahi, Purushottam Joshi, Mukteshwar Pandey, Banmali Panigrahi, Dinesh Panigrahi, Dileshwar Pandey, Prashant Panigrahi, Devshankar Panda, Vijay Pandey, Atmaram Joshi, Devkrishna Panigrahi, Jaiprakash Padhi, Vaibhav Pandey, Chumman Pandey, Somprakash Joshi, Venudhar Panigrahi, Pradeep Padhi, Somesh Joshi and other dignitaries.
