==Etymology==
The word ''gajan'' in Bengali comes from the word ''garjan'' or roar that sannyasis (hermits) emit during the festivities.〔Mitra, Dr. Amalendu, ''Rarher Sanskriti O Dharmathakur'', First published 1972, 2001 edition, pp. 165-169, Subarnarekha, 73 Mahatma Gandhi Road, Kolkata〕 Alternatively, the word ''gajan'' is considered a combination of parts of two words - ''ga'' is from the word ''gram'' meaning village and ''jan'' is from the word ''janasadharan'' meaning folk. In this sense gajan is a festival of village folk.〔Ghosh, Binoy, ''Paschim Banger Sanskriti'', (in Bengali), part I, 1976 edition, p. 67, Prakash Bhaban〕
