Karam Puja at VKV Bokuloni: Honoring Nature and Cultural Heritage

Inspired by the challenges and potentialities of Indian culture, as expressed by Mananeeya Nivedita Didi, VKV Bokuloni observes Karam Puja on 3rd September 2025, a celebration in which nature is worshipped. Nivedita Didi beautifully articulates this ethos: "Everything in this existence is viewed as interconnected, interrelated, and interdependent."

Karam Puja is a significant part of the cultural identity of the Tea Tribes in Assam. It is a way to preserve their traditions and pass them on to future generation. The worship of nature is at the heart of Karam Puja. In VKV Bokuloni, we observed to make children reflect the community's deep respect for nature, particularly the Karam tree, which is considered sacred.

The programme began with Manglacharan, creating a devotional atmosphere. Veer Sir initiated the celebration with a speech, highlighting the significance of Karam Puja and its traditional importance among the Tea Tribes.

The story associated with Karam Puja involves the deities Karam Raja and Karam Devi, reflecting themes of harmony, devotion, and the balance between nature and human life. During the observation, our teacher  narrated stories related to Karam Puja, providing moral and ethical lessons derived from their cultural folklore.

The celebration of Karam Puja at VKV Bokuloni not only connected students to local traditions but also nurtured values of cultural pride, environmental consciousness, and community harmony.
