    Tarja (folk poetry contest)

    Tarja (তর্জা) is a form of folk poetry contest from Bengal with a long tradition. Historically it used to be performed in the village gathering around a chandimandap or altar for village god, mela and other social events, in streets, and marketplace religious festivals. The themes of the contest are usually taken from Ramayana, Mahabharata or Puranas the poets sings his/her part in the form of doggerels and the other participant has to guess the meaning of it. During the rising bhadralok population of the Bengal renaissance many of these clubs as well as jhumur clubs had been destroyed on the basis of its obscene content.

    An example of a tarja couplet will be like:

    Maagi minsheke chit kore fele diye buke diyechhe paa
    Aar chokhta kare jhulur jhulur, mukhe neiko raa

    This literally translates as "the hussy has thrown the bloke flat on his back, with her foot on his chest/ wordless she stands glaring in anger". The answer to this puzzle will be the goddess Kali and the legend connected to her. The answerer to this will also sing out his/her answer in a poem made at that instant of time.

    Damned And Divine

    by: Tarja

    It won't help if you wait for me
    I'm a slave to the dark
    I know I'm not a saint, you see
    The dawn is when it starts
    Feel the shadow of my oblivion
    Hoping mercy would show her face
    On the road to your own perdition
    In the coal-blackened rain
    Frozen in time yearning forbidden wishes
    Damned and divine, scars of my broken kisses
    What will follow if tomorrow's blind?
    My eternal night
    As the wind takes me away from you
    Before the morning light
    My sins are fading into view
    I'm so weary deep inside
    Feel the shadow of my oblivion
    Hoping mercy would show her face
    On the road to your own perdition
    I may see you again
    Frozen in time yearning forbidden wishes
    Damned and divine, scars of my broken kisses
    What will follow if tomorrow's blind?
    My eternal night
    Frozen in time yearning forbidden wishes
    Damned and divine, scars of my broken kisses
    What will follow if tomorrow's blind?
    My eternal night
