The Joy of
Van-Bhoj: A Jharkhand Winter Tradition
#Jharkhand
#VanBhoj #WinterPicnic
As the crisp
winter air descends upon Jharkhand, a vibrant tradition comes alive – Van-Bhoj,
the winter picnic. The bright sunshine cuts through the chill, beckoning
families and friends to explore the state’s stunning waterfalls, dams, and
jungles.
Imagine a
picturesque scene: members of the Jharkhand Photographic Association (JPA) set
out for a delightful Van-Bhoj at the serene Horap jungle, just beside the ring
road. The captivating atmosphere is an invitation to relaxation and
rejuvenation.
The picnic
preparations are a testament to the spirit of community. While some members
find the perfect spot, others unpack the picnic essentials – stoves, ovens,
utensils, and of course, the ingredients for a delicious feast. The aroma of
freshly chopped onions, garlic, and chilies fills the air, as some wash and
prepare meat and vegetables, while others clean rice and other food items. It’s
a symphony of collaboration, ensuring a delectable spread for everyone.

Winter weekends
in Jharkhand are a kaleidoscope of colors as picnic spots teem with life. A
picnic, after all, is a delightful escape – a chance to savor a meal outdoors,
surrounded by the beauty of nature, be it a scenic park, a mesmerizing
waterfall, a serene dam, or even a captivating beach.
The magic of
Van-Bhoj goes beyond the delicious food. It’s about:
- Immersing yourself in the
tranquility of nature. - Reconnecting with loved ones and
forging deeper bonds. - Engaging in playful activities
like badminton, football, cricket, or even a rousing game of
hide-and-seek. - Boosting your physical well-being
with invigorating walks and games. - Unwinding and de-stressing in the
embrace of nature.

Every year on
June 18th, the world celebrates International Picnic Day. This tradition has
its roots in the French Revolution, when people would gather for meals in
scenic outdoor settings. Over time, this evolved into the global picnic culture
we know today.
