The Bengalis wake up at 4 am on the morning of the day of Mahalaya. They listen to the voice of Birendra Krishna Bhadra and Pankaj Kumar Mullick. It plays on All India Radio, reciting hymns from the scriptures or from Devi Mahatmyam or Chandi Path. The Pujas get into a rhythm from Saptami, the seventh day. The kola-Bou Snan is worshipping a banana plant draped in clothes. The extravaganza already starts from Maha Sasthi, the sixth day. The Bodhan and Chokkhu Daan give life to the mud idol. The Kumari Puja follows. The Sandhi puja and Dhunuchi Naach takes place on the midnight of Maha Ashtami and Maha Navami. These are the eighth and ninth day. 108 lamps would be lit near the goddess along with a hypnotizing dance performance by the smokes. On Ashtami, the crowd gathers in the morning. They offer Anjali or Pushpanjali with flowers and sweets. It continues till Bijaya Dashami tenth and the final day. With a remorse heart, people give a grand farewell to the goddess in the form of Thakur Baran. The Sindur Khela takes place where married women play with Vermillion. People offer sweets to each other and finally embrace each other in the form of a kola-kuli. The songs, the fragrance brings exuberance in the atmosphere. Millions of people in a milieu of sorts bring out the opulence and the sheer grandness of this festival. And it's not the puja but the preparations that begin since a month before. It is another celebration of sorts. It is the time when every Bengali will have a new set of clothes for the festive fervor. They wear them in the evening when the family goes to see the Pandals. To catch on this excitement shops would stay open till late at night and usual holidays. They attract as many customers as possible. People would come shopping with their family even after office hours. And it is not about purchasing for yourself but also for your near and dear loved ones. The Durga Puja has all the intricacies of human nature embedded in it. From unbound emotions, sheer madness, pure love and an eerie excitement. The city of Calcutta becomes a magical fairyland. Tiny lights glow all over to the rhythms of traditional music. The houses fill with the smell of new clothes. There is the Pujabarshiki, Sharadiya Sankhya or Sharadiya Patrika. These are special magazines published during the time. People hum the Bengali Adhunik Pujor Gaan special music releases. These contain stories of many writers, already established or newcomers. And have many extra pages. Some notable examples are Anandamela and Shuktara. Wherever there is a bit of space, people mount elaborate structures or Pandals. These are temporary structures made of cloth, bamboos, jewels and other precious items. For this, the budget would almost run beyond millions. The theme of the Pandals come from anything and everything in this entire world. There are religious motifs and famous landmarks. Major world incidents get portrayed with minutest of details. The Puja committees decide on a particular theme, the elements of which are in the pandal and the idols. Popular themes include ancient civilizations like the ' ancient Egypt or Inca. Contemporary subjects like Titanic and Harry Potter have been the object of pandals. It is similar with the lighting too. There are dazzling creations of illusions of national and international events. The deafening sound of the dhakis makes the entire atmosphere effervescent. The smoke of the Dhunuchi with the sweet fragrance of incense sticks waft in the air. In the rest of the world, the Puja is within Bengali communities. Today the Puja goes far beyond religion. One could say that the Durga Puja is the largest open-air art show in the world. In the nineties, a large number of architectural models were on the outer parts of the pandal. Today the architectural motifs extend to the elaborate interiors, executed by skilled artists. There are consistent stylistic elements, executed and signed by the artist himself. The idol sculpture also evolved. Once the five figures were in the same framework, called Pata. Since the eighties, the tendency is to depict each idol. The oldest puja is in north Kolkata in Baghbazar Sarbojonin, Kumartuli Park. There is Ahiritola, Md. Ali Park and College Square. Some of the newest ones are at Behala, Bosepukur Sitala Mandir, Santosh Mitra Square. There is Babubagan, Maddox Square, Sealdah Athletics, Jodhpur Park, Selimpur Palli. There is Suruchi Sangha, Badamtala Ashar Sangha, Mudiali, Ekdalia Evergreen. Adjacent is Singhi Park, Hindustan Park, Ballygunge Cultural. Notable Durga Puja's outside Kolkata are at Siliguri. Durga Puja also takes place in Kashmir, Kerala, Chittaranjan Park in New Delhi. Then there is Orissa, Punjab, Tripura, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Goa. Outside India, it is in Bangladesh, Singapore, United States, Switzerland, London and Australia. Durga Puja is also a time for a reunion with family, friends and alike. It is also getting lost in countless hours of fun with your loved ones. From the long informal chat sessions (Adda) to pandal hopping. More than 3000 of them vie for your attention for the four days for the Pratima darshan. People go out with friends in the latest ethnic and western wear. And an occasional stare into a beautiful girl, dressed especially for the occasion. It’s all an integral part of the Pratima darshan. Millions throng the sleepless streets and bylanes of their city. Each pandal almost attracts a million people every day. People return with the swelling feet and blisters created from the new shoes. Still, the mind starts planning for the next day. There are also elaborate food preparations in most households during the four days. Breakfast serving includes Luchi and Alu dam, a special potato curry. The lunch consists of khichuri, Phool Kopir Dalna, Beguni, Papad, and Chutney. There are sweets and Mishti Doi as dessert. But as all good thing comes to an end so is the Durga Puja with the Bijaya Dashami on the final day. It is the time when you can spot a drop of water from the cheeks of one an all for it is the time for Maa Durga to leave. The Baron takes place where women offer sweets and betel to Maa Durga. The idol goes in procession amid chants and drumbeats to the river or other water bodies. It is also known as Bishorjon, Bhashan, and Niranjan. People chant Bolo Durga Mai Ki Jai (glory to Mother Durga) and Asche Bochor Abar Hobe (next year again). After the immersion people wish each other Subho Bijoya. Young ones touch the feet and take blessings from their elders. Durga Puja is a festival which may have all the flavors of religion but is beyond religion. It is about encompassing basic human values, of the celebration of life. There are culture and love for the Goddess. The main essence here is the creativity of life which tries to go beyond our thoughts. People create something which they admire and remember for years to come. The vibrant atmosphere beckons you to be a part of it and be one with the feeling.
