Durga Puja
An autumn celebration of Devi with worship, artistic expression and community participation.
Worship and community
Durga Puja brings together images of Devi, ritual worship, music, food and shared spaces. Community pandals can be places of both devotion and craftsmanship. The narrative of Durga and Mahishasura is a traditional expression of the triumph over destructive forces.
Respect the local sequence
The sequence of Sashthi, Saptami, Ashtami, Navami and Dashami has specific local practices. Sandhi Puja is a precise boundary-related observance and must not be estimated from a generic day label. Follow a reviewed regional calendar and the arrangements of the hosting community.
Date and puja timings are awaiting approved festival rules. This guide does not provide an occurrence date. Editorial review pending.
