Marbat .. A Continuous Anger against Evil
The students of third semester documented the procession of marbat – a local procession which is a distinct feature of Nagpur. This festival constitutes mainly a procession of three huge effigies–kali Marbat,(1881), Pili marbat (1885) being the main characters joined in by a cameo role by “Badagya”. These effigies are believed to absorb the negativity and social evils when they are taken through the streets of the Itwari market and finally smoked into air and immersed in water.
