Have you started preparing for the Pujas !!

Sweet is thy LOVE!.........  Sweeter is thy ANGER!! ............ Sweetest is thy SMILE............. Mother!!!

Come August and the air of festivities begin in different parts of India. From Rakshabandhan to Janmashtami, to Ganesh Chaturthi to Navrathri and Deepavali, the list seems end less. Out of all these festivals, Durga Puja or Navrathri is celebrated with sincere pomp and joy in the eastern and northern parts of India.

As the name indicates, Navrathri is a celebration of ten days and nine nights, during which, the Mother Goddess Durga is said to have fought and vanquished the demon Mahishasura. Mythology has it that the fight to end the asura lasted for nine nights and ten days. It is also said that in the epic Ramayana, a similar fight happened during Navrathri with Rama killing the demon king Raavan on the tenth day.

All across India, these ten days are celebrated through fasting and ritualistic prayers, the climax of which happens on the tenth day. In Northern and Western India, giant effigies of Raavan are burnt to denote the end of evil. The practice is a little different in Eastern India, wherein, the presence of sacred Mother Goddess is invoked through prayers on the first day of the pujas (also called Mahalaya).

She stays  in the makeshift pandals for the next nine days, and is bid adieu on the tenth day. The idol that was used to signify the presence of the Mother is submerged in the holy waters of the Ganges on this day.

A national holiday is declared to allow everybody to enjoy the festivities to the fullest with their family and friends.
