Durga Puja is one of the major and highly held religious events in Hinduism, symbolic to the adoration of Goddess Durga and the worship of Shakti. These are celebrated on large scales in Eastern parts of India like West Bengal, Assam, Odisha, Tripura, and Bihar, but the fervors of Durga Puja are visible throughout the nation and planet Earth, especially in those places that have the presence of Bengali community.
Durga Puja is celebrated during Sharadiya Navratri, which begins every year from Pratipada of Shukla Paksha of the month Ashwin and culminates on Dashami Tithi. This year in 2024, Durga Puja will start from 3rd October and will end on 12th October. Mahalaya marks the beginning of Durga Puja, falls on October 2, and is the culmination of Pitru Paksha. It is said that on the Mahalaya day, from then, Maa Durga comes and begins to dwell amidst her devotees on earth.
Some of the most important legends associated with Durga Puja are that Goddess Durga defeated evil by killing the demon Mahishasura. The victory is being celebrated as that of strength, courage, and religion. Nine different forms of Goddess Durga are worshiped during the Puja. It is believed that in the nine days, Goddess Durga visits her maternal home and showers blessings on the devotees. She is accompanied by Goddess Lakshmi, Goddess Saraswati, Lord Ganesha, and Kartikeya.
Durga Puja begins on Shashthi Tithi with the installation and worship of Maa Durga idols in pandals. Various religious activities are performed during the Puja-anjali, sandhi Puja, and finally Sindoor Khela. Sindoor Khela is mainly performed on the last day, that is, on Vijayadashami, when married women take an adieu from the Goddess by applying vermilion to each other’s forehead.
Several cultural events are also organized along with the Puja. The most famous among these include dance, music, and Dhunuchi dance. New dresses would be worn, mouth-watering Bengali cuisine enjoyed, and pandals visited to see the Goddess. Magnificent idols of the goddess during Durga Puja in the pandals are wonderful examples of art and culture.
