KOLKATA: Ram Navami celebrations in Bengal weaved two traditions into a tapestry of harmony as Muslim hands offered water to Hindu devotees, flower petals showering from rooftops and the sweet taste of brotherhood shared through prasad and sherbet during the processions.

As the scorching April sun beat down on devotees during Ram Navami processions across Bengal, displays of brotherhood were witnessed across the state during Ram Navami celebrations. The ruling Trinamool Congress said that Bengal has shown the country that faith can build bridges, not walls and Ram Navami marked a moment of interfaith harmony. It also reminded people once again that Bengal is the torchbearer of communal unity for the entire nation.
