Raja Festival

It's been raining for last three days here and it's ruining the holidays. "Raja" is one of the most awaited festivals in Orissa, dedicated to womanhood. But I guess, the weather is just playing foul this time. For some and specifically me, it brings a lot of relief in terms of rising temperatures.

One finds beautiful girls all dressed up sing songs while enjoying "Doli" and the tradition is as old as we all are.

This festival is also famous for "Pithas" (rice cakes) which are prepared in abundance as the ladies in households are allowed to enjoy the holidays. 

So what all kinds of "Pithas" are you having this time??
