Cosplayers are seen performing during the Gajan festival at Hooghly. Gajan is a Hindu festival celebrated mostly in West Bengal as well as southern part of Bangladesh during the end of the month of ìChaitraî of the Bengali calendar followed by another festival named ìCharakî. This festival is mainly worshipping Hindu Lord Shiva and Parvati before the start of the harvesting season. Gajan is actually connected to the people who are related to the agricultural community, directly or indirectly. People celebrate by performing rituals such as face painting and cosplaying. Devotees dress up as Hindu mythological characters and perform various mythological stories door to door and many shiva gajan sanyasis (Shiva devotees) paint their faces and then roam around the whole village.
