Durga Puja India | Durga Maa

Rooted in ancient mythology, this vibrant Hindu festival is a celebration of the Mother Goddess and the victory of Goddess Durga over the buffalo demon Mahishasura.

The festival honors the powerful female force in the universe, where the divine radiates compassion, strength, and the timeless wisdom of the ages.

It's a time when temples transform into opulent stages, largely crafted pandals become adobes for the goddess. Feasting, traditional dances, and cultural performances add layers of jubilation to the festival.

SCHEDULE

Durga Puja is a major Hindu festival celebrated with great enthusiasm in various parts of India, particularly in West Bengal, Assam, and other states. The festival typically takes place over a span of several days, usually in September or October, depending on the lunar calendar. While specific dates can vary from year to year, I can provide you with a general schedule of events during Durga Puja:

Day Description
Mahalaya This marks the beginning of Durga Puja celebrations. It's a day dedicated to invoking Goddess Durga's blessings. It usually falls around a week before the actual puja starts.
Panchami This is the fifth day of the Durga Puja festivities. The rituals involve the symbolic painting of the goddess known as "Kola Bou Snan," which involves immersing a banana tree in water as a representation of the goddess.
Shashthi On the sixth day, the idol of Goddess Durga is unveiled. The day is marked by rituals and the start of the traditional dhak (drum) beats and cultural performances.
Saptami The seventh day is marked by elaborate rituals, including the offering of the first pushpanjali (flower offering) to the goddess. Cultural events and traditional dances are a highlight of this day
Ashtami The eighth day is considered the most significant day of Durga Puja. Elaborate rituals and ceremonies take place, culminating in the Sandhi Puja, which falls at the juncture of Ashtami and Navami. It is believed that Goddess Durga killed the demon Mahishasura during this auspicious time
Navami On the ninth day, the festivities continue with prayers, cultural performances, and various offerings to the goddess. In some regions, children are given special attention on this day, as they are considered symbols of the divine energy
Dashami (Vijaya Dashami) On the tenth day, the idols of Goddess Durga are immersed in water bodies, marking the conclusion of the festival. This process is known as "Visarjan." It's a day of mixed emotions as devotees bid farewell to the goddess and celebrate her triumph over evil.
