Durga Puja Committee

Durga Puja, the ten-day long festival in honour of the goddess Durga, is eastern India's most important festival. In the Rig Veda, there is a wonderful hymn known as Devi-Suktam (which is chanted during Durga Puja days) in which the Divine Mother declares that She moves with the Rudras, Vasus, Adityas, and all other gods, that She is the power of all gods, that She is the Queen of the world, and so on.

The colorful idols of the goddess that have been handcrafted and installed for the festival are unveiled on this day. The rituals of Durga Puja last ten days with the start and the last five days being special festivals that are reflected in public holidays in some states in India.

West Bengal BJP president Dilip Ghosh said the people have rejected the CPI(M) and the Congress and has chosen the saffron party as the only alternative to end the "misrule of the TMC in Bengal". In the east, the most attractive part of the celebrations is the puja mandaps, which are brightly colored, gaily decorated and bursting at seams with devotees assembled to worship the goddess.

Durga Puja, also known by its many traditional names like Akalbodhan, Sharadiya Pujo, Sharadotsav, Maha Pujo, Maayer Pujo, and Durga Pujo, is observed in the month of Ashvin, according to the Hindu Lunar calendar. Program time of the entries we have received so far has reached the maximum available time for cultural program during Durga puja.

Durga Puja is one of the biggest festivals in Bengal and it is the most important socio-cultural event in the Bengali society. This ritual marks the farewell of Goddess Durga. West Bengal Pandit and Purohit Association is running a crash course for priests ahead of the Durga Puja to keep up with demand, according to reports.

As one of the biggest festivals in Bengal, Durga Puja is celebrated on a mass scale with Puja Pandals erected in almost every corner of West Bengal. A Bengali festival, Durga Puja celebrates the triumph of Goddess Durga over the Asura. The saffron-clad monks of the Ramakrishna Order at Belur Math look upon a young girl as mother and worship her as a goddess, on Maha Ashtami.

The festival ends of the tenth day of Vijaya Dashami, when with drum beats of music and chants, Shakta Hindu communities start a procession carrying the colorful clay statues to a river or ocean and immerse them, as a form of goodbye and her return to divine cosmos and Mount Kailash.

Celebrated in the honor of Goddess Durga, each year millions of Indians visit pandals to enjoy this rare blend of cultural and spiritual experience. Generally people perform puja for three days (called as Saptami, Astami and Navami) after keeping fast for long 6, 7, and 8 days.

The entire state of West Bengal welcomes Goddess Durga and her children, along with the mighty demon Mahishasura, with open arms and hearts filled with incomprehensible emotions of togetherness. Durga Pooja celebration involves worshipping of Goddess Durga, the ten armed Goddess riding the lion.

Mumbai’s Durga Puja pandals stay eco-friendly | Mumbai News

Mumbai’s Durga Puja pandals have always had eco-friendly idols, but this year, almost every pandal in the city has gone a step ahead. Besides being eco-friendly, they have also come out in support of various social causes. Here are a few pandals that have taken the eco-friendly route while keeping the nostalgia and age-old Durga Puja traditions intact. Times Powai Sarvajanin Durgotsav Considered to be one of the largest pujas in the city, the Times Powai Sarvajanin Durgotsav sees a lot of footfall. The theme this year, Abar Phire Asha, celebrates returning to one’s roots. The pandal has zones dedicated to various wonders of old Kolkata. The terracotta idols at Barowari Durga Mandap have been created with natural materials, shola (cork) jewellery, and natural paints, and are draped in Indian handlooms. For the first time, Mumbai will witness Dhamsa Madol (largest kettle drums, akin to nagara) and Jhumur dance here. Spandan Powai Sharadotsav This rather young, (six-year-old) puja, has once again associated itself with worthy causes. They have not just conducted afforestation drives, green exchange programmes and waste segregation, but are also using biodegradable cutlery for serving bhog prasad. They also used recycled drums and canisters to make the pandal, while the idol is made of wood, hay, paper-mache, clay and natural colours. What is unique about this pandal is that they are using solar energy to power the event partially. This will cater to 50 per cent of power usage during the day. Bengal Club, Shivaji Park This is one of the most popular traditional pujas in Mumbai, and is also known for the variety of its stalls. The pandal welcomes thousands of devotees every year. The theme for 2019 is Sampoorna, which focusses on the welfare of the girl child and they have an eco-friendly, plastic-free celebration.

Bombay Durgabari Samiti, Tejpal Hall In its 90th year, this puja is one of the oldest in the city. The old-world charm and the simplicity of this puja, makes it special. Apart from the Ramkrishna Mission Puja, this is among the few held indoors. Committed to encouraging and promoting Indian art, they have invited Patachitra painters, shola and Dhokra artists to showcase their work. Their theme this year is Sheesh Mahal.

North Bombay Sarbojanin Durga Puja Samity, Juhu The famous Mukherjees Puja sees the entire star-studded clan in attendance. The USP is that the bhog here is served by the Bollywood celebrity members of the family. The large idol is made of clay and is completely eco-friendly.

Lokhandwala Durgotsav Started in 1996 by singer Abhijeet Bhattacharya, this is among the grandest Durga Pujas in the city. Performance of 40 Dhakis daily, variety of stalls, one of the biggest eco-friendly clay idols, bhog prasad for four days and celebrity performances have proved to be a major attraction. Kallol Durga Puja, Goregaon Kallol is among the well-known Bengali organisations in the suburbs. For over 55 years, this eco-friendly puja has supported many social causes, established a charitable homeopathic and allopathic dispensaries and built a resourceful library. This inclusive and socially responsible team, believes in empowering the physically challenged.

Ramakrishna Math and Mission, Khar Following age-old traditions, this is one puja that most Bengalis attend. Many celebrities including the Bachchan family is known to visit this pandal. Eco-friendly traditional ek chaler idol (one halo surrounding all five idols) is the main attraction here. Their constant efforts to work for social causes is well known. The unique Kumari Puja (where a seven-year-old girl is worshipped) is also conducted here. Vashi Durga Puja This one is among the grandest pujas in Navi Mumbai and is popular not just for all the authentic Bengali food stalls serving delicacies, but also the cultural programmes. Touted to have one of the largest idols, this one is also completely eco-friendly. Malad West Sarbojonin Durgotsav Every year this pandal helps underprivileged children. This year the very traditional Bauls or mystic minstrels have been invited to showcase Baul gaan (a special genre of folk music from West Bengal).

Mulund Durga Puja Into its 34th year, the USP of this eco-friendly puja is its homely vibe. Amidst reverberating dhaak sounds and divine dhuno, the puja involves people of all ages. Eco-friendly sal leaf thalis are used to serve the scrumptious bhog prasad to people of all communities during the puja. Dedicated members make it a point to lovingly serve prasad to the devotees.
