Durga Puja festival 2022<\/b>, or the annual Hindu goddess <\/span>Durga Puja<\/b>, is one of India’s most important festivals. It is a multi-day festival that can last anywhere from 6 to 10 days depending on where you are in the country. The celebration is known as Navratri in most of Northern India (nine nights). Regardless of these differences, the last four days of Maha Saptami, Maha Ashtami, Maha Navami, and Vijay Dashami are especially significant and are celebrated with great pomp and splendor across the country.<\/span><\/p>\n

The event recalls the goddess’s victory over a demon known as Mahishasura in most parts of the country. According to Hindu legend, the demon was sent to wage war against the gods, and it was up to Durga to defeat him and save the world. She began her struggle with the demon on Maha Saptami, the seventh day of Navratri, and defeated him by Vijay Dashami, the last day of Navratri.<\/span><\/p>\n

The goddess, also known as the ‘destroyer of evil,’ is distinguished by her ten arms, each of which carries a devastating weapon, as well as her vehicle, a lion. Durga is also known as Bhavani, Amba, Chandika, Gauri, Parvati, and Mahishasuramardini to Hindu devotees. She is the ‘Mother Goddess’ and the ‘Protector of the Righteous.’<\/span><\/p>\n

Though the festival is supposed to have originated in Hinduism, the first documented reference of a goddess celebration is from the 1500s in West Bengal. The event, on the other hand, is said to have gained a lot of clout during the country’s independence movement and has since grown to become one of the country’s largest festivals. The goddess was seen by many as a symbol of the country and its struggle for independence.<\/span><\/p>\n

Today, the celebration of the <\/span>Durga Puja Festival<\/b> 2022<\/b> is marked by song and dance, fasting followed by feasts, ornate decorations, pujas (great temple ceremonies), and religious recitals. In certain regions of the country, goddess idols are immersed in water, while in others, young girls dress up as goddesses and participate in numerous rites at temples and public gatherings. The <\/span>Durga puja Bengali date <\/b>is from 30th September 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
