Hi

Devi paksha has started.
May the blessings of Durga Maa be always with you.
 
a brief account on Durga Puja:
Durga Puja is the greatest of the festivals of the Bengalis. It is celebrated all over the country. Some perform it individually, some collectively known as Sarvajanin Durgotsav. The best known story of goddess durga is that of her defeating the demon Mahisasur commonly known as Asur. Durga puja is generally celebrated in Bengal in Autumn. Mahalaya is the day when mother goddess arrives...
The goddess durga is depicted with ten hands. She symbolises the strength of women,
The icons are made of straw and clay and then painted with bright color and decorated with clothes. On the fourth day of worship the icon is immersed in water which is known as Bisarjan.....
