This musical performance is based on the Manasa Mangala Kavya, an important epic poem which, in one estimate, dates back as far as the 13th century, and which in turn is said to have been based on older folk myths.

Other poets like Ketakadas Khyamananda & Bipradas Piplai also contributed to the text and are definitely worth mentioning.

The verses of this Mangal Kavya were hugely popular among Bengalis and many has been given music to sing during the Manasa Puja.They are generally captured from the backstage, green room or front stage.
