Durga Puja is a significant Hindu festival celebrating the goddess Durga's victory over the demon Mahishasura, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil. The festival, especially prominent in West Bengal, spans several days with elaborate rituals, prayers, and cultural performances. Devotees prepare grand pandals (temporary structures), install beautifully crafted idols of Durga, and engage in traditional music, dance, and feasts. The event also fosters a deep sense of community, bringing together people to celebrate their shared heritage and culture, often with emotional connections to their homeland.
