Durga Puja is set to occur from October 8 to October 13 in 2024. Known as Durgotsava, this festival honors Goddess Durga's triumph over Mahishasura. C

Every festival in India is celebrated with great enthusiasm, and one of the most notable is Navratri. Although Navratri occurs four times a year, Chaitra Navratri and Sharad Navratri hold special significance.

Though the festivities begin from Mahalaya, the celebrations start from the sixth day – Shashthi. On this day, the idol of Goddess Durga is unveiled, and her presence is invoked.

Bhagalpur: Durga Puja begins almost a week early for a section of Bengalis in Bhagalpur, with 18-day rituals instead of the traditional 10 days.

A vibrant celebration symbolising the victory of good over evil, filled with rituals, music, and cultural unity, honouring the timeless legacy of the divine feminine.
