Thank you so much @TusharSuradkar for acknowledging my contribution I’m really glad to help the people of City of Joy and also the ones who are visiting during this festive season with this small contribution
Yes Sir, why not. I’m really glad and honoured to share information about such a crucial part of our Hindu and obviously the Bengali culture and tradition.
Durga Puja is a grand Hindu festival, especially popular among Bengalis, that honors Goddess Durga and celebrates her victory over the demon, Mahishasura, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil.
The festival is marked by the worship of beautifully crafted clay idols of goddess Durga in elaborately decorated temporary structures called pandals. It is celebrated for five main days in autumn, with rituals, prayers, music, dance, and vibrant cultural events bringing communities together. Traditional foods, social gatherings, and artistic displays are central, making it not only a religious event but also a showcase of Bengali culture and creativity. The festival concludes with the immersion of Durga’s idol in water, signifying her return to her heavenly abode and the end of festivities. Durga Puja is much more than just religious worship; it is a powerful community celebration, blending spirituality, art, and togetherness, and is recognized as an iconic cultural phenomenon.
