The entire commonwealth eagerly waits for this festival all the year round . The main features of Nabadwip Rash are to make huge Mūrtis with clay and to worship Shakti . Every Mūrti has an artistic design , a variety of imagination , religious discourse , and deep understanding of the scholars , which help entertain innumerable people.Cartoonist Chandi Lahiri said that the hugeness of clay Mürtis differs from any other festival as Nabadwip's Mūrtis are shapely and symmetric despite their light weight and enormous proportions .
Ras festival mainly part of Vaishnavism . In the time of Chaitanya deb or some years earlier , Rash Yatra was started in Nabadwip . But it was Vaishnabic festival . Shakta ras is totally different from that . Sakta Ras festival may be older than Vaishnava Ras , because in the beginning , idols were worshipped in Patachitra . During the time of Krishnachandra and mainly Girishchandra , Nabadwip Rash yatra became popular . Krishna Chandra and Girishchandra spent much money to popularise the festival and since then worshipping started through clay idol .
