AN INDIAN FESTIVAL
OR, DURGA PUJA
OR, THE FESTIVAL YOU LIKE MOST
Our's is a religious country People of different religious live here. So
different types offestivals are celebrated here. Holi, Durga Puja, Basant Panchami
and Chattha are some ofthe important festivals ofthe Hindus. Idd and Muharram
are important festivals ofthe Muslims and Easter and Christmas ofthe Christians,
Thus India is rightly called a land of festivals.
All the festivals have their own importance. But I like, Durga puja most
Like other festivals. Durga Puja too has religious background. It is said that once
the gods become the victims of the atrocities of Mahishasura. They urged
Goddess Durga to save their lives form that demon goddess Durga rised arms
against that demon killed him and freed the gods from his terrors, Her victory
over injustice and the victory of heavenover hell. Thus, Durga herselfstands for
power goodness justice love and hope.
Durga Puja is generally celebrated in the second halfofAshwini. It lasts for
the days. The last day of worship is popularly know as Vijayadashmi. In decorated
temples and pandals, the image of goddess Durga is installed. These temples or
pandals are made at a specious public place. Many small shops are opened
around the temples and pandals People come to the fair to make offerings to
goddess Durga.
Thus as a religious festival. Durga Puja is deeply rooted in the life and
culture of India. It is one ofthe most remarkable festivals of our country.
