Durga Puja-the radiant festival marking Goddess Durga’s victory over the demon Mahishasura-is one of the holiest occasions in India, signifying good over evil. The five-day festival is just as fierce and spectacular in Lucknow, where beliefs are imbued with creativity through intricately designed pandals, stunning cultural performances, and processions.
