NARAYANGANJ, April 7, 23014 (BSS)- The two day long Astami Snan of the Hindu Community at Langalbandh under Bandar Upazila was ended here without any break.
Deputy Commissioner Monoj Kanti Boral told BSS that over ten lakh Hindu pilgrims both male, female and children performed their rituals in sixteen renovated Ghats seeking divine blessings peacefully.
According to Hindu mythology, Parsuram, a saint killed his mother Amugha Devi by an axe at the order of his father Jamadagni. The axe clung on his hand as a mark of sin. At the order of the divinity, Parsuram bathed in the river Brahmaputra on this day of lunar month as the waterfall of the Himalayan peak joined the river Brahmaputra. The axe dropped from his hand and Parsuram freed from sin.
According to Hindu belief a dip in the river Brahmaputra on this day of lunar month one can get rid of the sin.
