Ayodhyaram
Choudhury,
the
zamindar
started
Rama
puja
first
time
in
this
area.
According
to
him,
he
got
some
divine
instructions
to
worship
Lord
Rama.
After
that
he
started
a
huge
Barowari
Puja
of
Lord
Rama.
That
Puja
got
a
massive
popularly
in
the
passage
of
time
and
the
locality
was
named
after
it
Ramrajatala.
But
during
that
time,
Saraswati
Puja
was
very
famous
in
that
area
and
the
villagers
used
to
enjoy
the
same
a
lot
from
previous
300
years.
So
some
villagers
those
were
the
fond
of
the
Saraswati
Puja
opposed
the
Ram
Puja.
The
two
groups
came
to
a
conclusion
after
numerous
discussions
that
Ram
Puja
would
be
done
and
the
Goddess
of
Wisdom
Saraswati
would
be
placed
on
the
top
of
Lord
Ram
&
Sita.
From
that
day
the
customary
started
to
cut
the
bamboo
from
the
bamboo
groove
of
Sasthitala
and
perform
the
very
first
Puja
of
those
bamboos
at
Choudhury
Para
Shiv
Mandir
on
the
day
of
Saraswati
Puja.
During
the
initial
days
the
Puja
the
fair
firstly
held
for
three
days.
After
that
it
continued
for
a
fortnight
and
then
up
to
a
month.
Now
Ram
Puja
starts
on
Ramnavami
in Chaitra-Baisakh month
and
continues
up
to
the
last
Sunday
of
Shravan
month.
It
is
longest
running
fair
in West
Bengal.[2]
