About Durga Puja

Durga Puja celebrates Goddess Durga's homecoming and her victory over the buffalo demon Mahishasura. The main days run from Shashthi to Vijaya Dashami, the sixth to the tenth days of the bright half of Ashvin, in September or October.

The season begins on Mahalaya, when the Goddess is invoked. Families believe Maa Durga comes home to her parents with her children Lakshmi, Saraswati, Ganesha and Kartik, and leaves again on Dashami.

Neighbourhoods build pandals with clay idols and bright lights. People wear new clothes, go pandal hopping late into the night, offer anjali on Ashtami, share bhog, dance with the dhunuchi to the beat of the dhak, and play Sindoor Khela before the idol is immersed. Bijoya greetings, sweets and visits to elders follow.

It is the biggest festival of West Bengal, Tripura, Assam and Odisha and of Hindus in Bangladesh, and Bengali communities hold Pujas in Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, London, New York, Toronto, Sydney and many other cities.

How people celebrate Durga Puja

  • Pandal hopping late into the night
  • Pushpanjali on Maha Ashtami
  • Sandhi Puja with 108 lamps and lotuses
  • Dhunuchi dance to the dhak drums
  • Khichuri bhog shared at the pandal
  • Sindoor Khela on Dashami
  • Bijoya visits, sweets and pranam to elders

How to wish well

  • Wish "Shubho Sharodiya" or "Shubho Durga Puja" during the festival, and "Shubho Bijoya" from Dashami onwards.
  • On Bijoya, younger people touch elders' feet or send a pranam; a respectful Bijoya message to elders is a kind gesture.
  • Odia friends say "Durga Puja ra shubhechha"; Assamese friends write Durga Puja with their own letters.
  • Light jokes about food and pandal queues are welcome; keep jokes away from the Goddess.
  • Mahalaya is solemn: wishes that day are prayers, not party messages.
