Durga Puja is a Hindu festival dedicated to the worship of Goddess Durga, the mother of the universe. It marks the victory of Goddess Durga over the buffalo demon Mahishasura.
Durga Puja usually takes place in September or October, depending on the Hindu lunar calendar. It lasts for ten days, with the last four days being the most significant.
The main days of Durga Puja are Mahalaya, Shashthi, Maha Saptami, Maha Ashtami, Maha Navami, and Vijaya Dashami. The last four days are collectively known as Durga Puja.
Durga Puja is marked by elaborate decorations, artistic idols of Goddess Durga, cultural performances, processions, and feasts. Devotees visit pandals (temporary structures) to witness the idol and participate in various rituals.
Mahalaya marks the beginning of the countdown to Durga Puja. It is believed that on this day, Goddess Durga begins her journey to Earth. It is also a time when people offer prayers to their ancestors.
The rituals include the installation of the idol, chanting of hymns and mantras, performing aarti (ceremonial worship), and immersion of the idol on the last day. Anjali (offering flowers) and Sindoor Khela (playing with vermilion) are also common rituals.
Durga Puja is the most significant and widely celebrated festival in West Bengal, where it is a public holiday. The entire state comes alive with cultural events, processions, and artistic decorations during this time.
