‘Durga Puja’ is the most important and culturally significant part of the Bengali culture. It is a four-day long festival held during the month of September/October, worshipping Goddess Durga and celebrating her victory over the evil ‘Asura’. The true beauty of Bengal can be seen and felt during these days. The ancient traditions adorning the Bengali community are reflected clearly during these days.
Initially restricted to just Bengal, the tentacles of this highly popular festival has spread far and wide across other states of India and even abroad, to countries like the USA, the UK and Australia, where the number of non-resident Indians are quite a few.
