Jatjatin: Entertaining Indra to make it rain
The paddy planted in the fields of Sunsari have all dried up. It has hardly rained a drop here in the past month and the temperatures are as high as they have ever been in living memory. The locals feel that this may have something to do with the Hindu God of rain Indra and thus, to appease him, women have started performing Jatjatin. Shiva Narayan, a local of Chhitaha, Gadhi Rural Municipality–3, told The Rising Nepal that women from all over the village gathered in one place and performed the Jatjatin play Sunday night to make it rain. According to one villager Bhola Devi Yadav, Jatjatin is a kind of play wherein women act out a fight through folk songs. It begins with a group of women putting a crushed frog in a pot full of cow dung and faeces and urine of various animals. They mix it all together and dump this putrid concoction in the yard of a lady deemed unnecessarily quarrelsome by the community.
