Why Durga Puja is Celebrated ?
People celebrate Durga Puja to honor and worship the Hindu goddess Durga, who embodies feminine power and strength. The festival signifies the victory of goddess Durga over the buffalo demon Mahishasura, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil.
Believers hold the belief that goddess Durga descends to the earthly realm along with her four children (Lakshmi, Saraswati, Ganesha, and Kartikeya) to bless her devotees and restore peace and harmony.
People celebrate Durga Puja with immense enthusiasm and perform elaborate rituals. They construct intricately decorated temporary structures called pandals, create artistic clay idols of the goddess, engage in music and dance, indulge in feasting, and showcase cultural performances. During this time, known as Durga Puja, millions of people, particularly in the Indian states of West Bengal, Assam, and Odisha, as well as in other parts of India and across the world where the Indian diaspora resides, come together in a celebration of joy, devotion, and culture.
