What is Durga Puja? 

Durga puja is an annual Hindu festival that pays homage to the Hindu goddess Durga. The festival marks the Victory of Durga Maa over Mahishasur. It is a 10-day festival, with the latter 5 days of the highest significance. The puja is performed at home as well as in public Pandals. The Public Pandals have temporary stage decorations, scripture recitations, performance arts, revelry, gift-giving, family visits, feasting, and public processions. It is an important festival in the Shaktism tradition of Hinduism. It symbolizes the victory of good over evil. 

At the same time, it’s a harvest festival that celebrates the goddess as the motherly power behind all the creations. The Durga puja festival coincides with Navratri and Dussehra festival celebrations by other traditions of Hinduism. Durga Puja is an old tradition of Hinduism, but its originals are still not clear. Goddess Durga is an ancient deity of Hinduism as per the archaeological and textual evidence. She is associated with protection, strength, motherhood, destruction, and wars.

The surviving old manuscripts suggest the guidelines for celebrating the festival. At least from the 16th century, royal and wealthy families have been sponsoring prominent Durga puja festival celebrations. In modern times, the significance of Durga Puja is more as a social and cultural event than a regional event. It has become an inseparable part of Indian culture, with a diverse group of people uniquely celebrating the festival.
