Happy Durga Puja, Navratri & Dussehra, Victory of Good Over Evil

Durga Puja: The auspicious festival of Durga Puja is an annual 5-day celebration originating in the Indian subcontinent which pays homage to the goddess Maa Durga. It celebrates the victory of good over evil as goddess Durga killed demon king Mahishasur. According to the Sanatan scriptures, it is believed that the goddess visits her earthly abode during this time to bless her devotees.

Durga Puja is mostly celebrated in states like West Bengal, Odisha, Assam, Tripura, Manipur, Bihar, and Jharkhand. People begin their preparations to welcome the goddess on Mahalaya, which was celebrated on October 6. The festival ends with Vijaya Dashami or Dussehra, marking the end of Durga Puja and the nine-day-long Navratri celebrations. Vijay Dashami marks the triumph of Goddess Durga over the demon king Mahishasura. On the other hand, Dussehra celebrates the victory of Lord Rama over Ravan.
