The goddess comes home / produced by James Beveridge

Item consists of a documentary film. “ Bengal, India, is known for many revolutionary movements and for creative activity in literature, music, painting and folk art. The land is rich in soil and climate, but extremely crowded. Calcutta is the capital; this film shows the beauty and poetry in the countryside which softens the harshness of village life. It is the festival of the goddess Burga, a warlike goddess who defeats demons and brings justice and liberation to the oppressed.
She is worshipped in every village during the harvest, and young women who have left their village return to their childhood homes for the ceremony.”
