||| BIBHUTI |||

9th of December 2020 Nirvay Odia Newspaper in its MoKatha talks of "Bibhuti' sacred ash on forehead people smear as a sysmbol of their adharence to certain ism. Some put sindur vermilion. The way they put also it matters. Vaishnavites and Shaivaites mark it with difference. Bhutnath of the village Banglapur puts Bhagishuni sindur on his forehead as many of the area does it, as a loud reverence to the Goddess Bhagiashuni. Soon Bhutnath reaches Tamilnadu on a job assignment gets himself caught in a quandary over position of his vermilion mark and then he swicthed over to putting Bibhuti sacred ash on his foreahead. The change is marked by Gaura the ever questioning Bangalpuria and the Bhutnath gone smart to quote a sloka from the sacred Gita to convince through Bibhuti the leela, cosmic play of Brahman is symbolically represented. One who puts it and the one who sees on other's foreahead remember the Brahman, the creator of all what seen and unseen.
