But in whole state only Kharagpur was main attraction because here two main festivals celebrate in same day. First was Ram navami fasting and puja in different temples, especially in ram mandir and hanuman mandir. Second most important was Jawara puja.  Jawara is onw kind of shaki puja, which also known as bambleswari puja. It was believe that sriram was doing this puja to get blessing from devi durga to got blessing before lanka war.
