About Durga Puja

Durga Puja is an annual Hindu festival that celebrates the victory of the goddess Durga over the buffalo demon Mahishasura. It is a major festival in India, particularly in West Bengal, and is celebrated with great enthusiasm and devotion. The festival typically lasts for ten days, with the last five days being the most significant. During this time, elaborate pandals (temporary structures) are set up, and devotees offer prayers, perform rituals, and participate in cultural events. Durga Puja is not only a religious celebration but also a cultural extravaganza that brings communities together to celebrate art, music, dance, and food.
