Is Bhumi Puja celebrated in your community?
Bhumi Puja is associated with agriculture and clouds
Bhumi pujan ceremonies officially start from the last day of Jestha. Bhume Puja is associated with agriculture and clouds. On the last day of Jeshta, flowers are picked from the highlands of mountains and Bhume Puja is started in lower lands. It is believed that there will be no shortage of rain after worshiping the high land where the clouds are.To ward off natural disasters like floods, landslides, and storms and to pray for good farming, the worship and celebration of Mother Earth is celebrated with great enthusiasm for about a week, and during that time, a small fair is held in every village in Nepal.
Whether there is any construction or agricultural work on the land, the land should be worshiped after testing and cleaning it. It is customary to worship Ganesha in the soil for the initiation and smooth completion of any work. In Sanatan Darshan, the land is considered to be the same as Gaurup (Holy cow), therefore, the land is worshiped with the idol of Lord Ganapati, as well as Ishtadev and Kuldevata.
