PUROHIT @ DURGA PUJA
Sanskrit, the original ‘Deva Bhasa’ or language of the Gods, often poses problem for believers when it comes to correct pronunciation. So, when ‘shlokas’ from Hindu scriptures are recited at community pujas or even homes, those with a discerning ear look for priests who have perfected the diction.
In case of five day long Durga Puja, the role of a Purohit (popularly known as Purut Moshay) become more important. It needs specialisation to perform Durga Puja. The recitation of Chandi-Path and performing rituals like ‘Kola-Bou Snan’, ‘Nava-Patrika Pujan’, ‘Kumari Puja’ and the heart of Durgotsava ‘Sandhi Puja’ make it a tedious job.
Now in the era of Digital Durga Puja, there are many digital medium available which arrange all kind of Purohit for all type of Puja and other rituals. You can now Dial-a-Purohit and have him home delivered during Durga Puja. Purohits with good knowledge of complex shlokas and good pronunciation are in huge demand. A good personality is an added advantage.
