Contexte culturel
The 'Katta' culture is central to 'Majja'. It's an informal space where people of all ages gather to chat and enjoy each other's company. Many Marathi songs celebrate the spirit of 'Majja', especially those featuring college life or festivals. This 10-day festival is the ultimate period of 'Majja' in Maharashtra, involving public processions and music. Humorist P.L. Deshpande's writings often describe the simple 'majja' of middle-class Marathi life.
