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.
