How Hindus Celebrate Durga Puja
Durga
Puja is known as one of the biggest festivals among the Hindus, especially the
Bengalis. Usually this festival is celebrated during the period of September
and October. This festival is celebrated through five long days.
From
the mythological point of view, the current time table of Durga Puja has
connections with the Ramayana. During the war in Lanka, Lord Rama started
worshipping Goddess Durga. Before that, the Durga Puja used to be held during
the spring time. But since that time people started to worship goddess Durga
during the autumn. Later Rama earned the blessings of Goddess Durga and was
able to beat Ravana during the war.
Nowadays,
Durga Puja became a cultural heritage and a cultural ‘industry’ especially in
Bengal. Durga Puja in West Bengal is considered as one of the biggest festivals
for a community all over the world. The beautiful Durga Idols and architecture
attract the people from all over the world.
