Introduce and History of Durgapuja
Durga Puja is one of the most important and vibrant Hindu festivals, especially celebrated in West Bengal, Assam, Odisha, Tripura, Bihar, Jharkhand, and Bangladesh, as well as in many other parts of India and the world where Bengali communities live.
It honors Goddess Durga’s victory over the demon Mahishasura, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil, light over darkness, and hope over despair.
Key Highlights of Durga Puja:
-
Time of Celebration: It usually takes place in September–October (during the month of Ashwin in the Hindu lunar calendar), lasting for five days—from Shashthi to Vijaya Dashami (Dussehra).
-
Rituals & Traditions: Beautifully crafted idols of Goddess Durga (with her children Lakshmi, Saraswati, Kartik, and Ganesha) are installed in elaborately decorated pandals (temporary structures). Rituals, prayers, cultural programs, and feasts follow.
-
Cultural Significance: Apart from worship, Durga Puja is a grand social and cultural festival—with music, dance, drama, and art exhibitions. Pandals become creative showpieces, sometimes themed on world heritage, social issues, or modern art.
-
Food & Festivities: Traditional foods like bhog (khichuri, labra, sweets) and street delicacies add flavor. People wear new clothes, visit pandals, and meet family and friends.
-
Finale (Vijaya Dashami): On the last day, the idols are immersed in rivers or water bodies (Visarjan), marking the Goddess’s return to Mount Kailash. Women also celebrate Sindoor Khela, smearing vermillion on each other.
