2017 Durga Puja in Bangalore
Durga Puja is a promising and most renowned festival for Bengali
people. In Southern India, particularly Bangalore is providing
cover to numerous Bengalis ever since more than a few decades.
Durga Puja is a unique occurrence for Bengali Association of
Bangalore which observes celebrations for Durga Puja.
Though the staying of Maa Durga on earth begins from Navaratri’s
first day for other people, the Bengali community rejoices the
coming of Maha Panchami evening which is 5th day after new moon,
when Goddess Durga’s idol, along with Goddesses Saraswati,
Lakshmi, Ganesha and Kartikeya are carried at Puja Pandal.
Although there are 4 famous Bengali organizations in Bangalore
organizing Durga Puja, the oldest one is Bengali Association
situated at Assaye Road. Maha Ashtami is a main event where puja
begins in morning and ends at community Bhog on 12 noon.
Cultural programs held in evening. The immersion occurs on Maha
Dashami. Cultural programs take place everyday.
In Bangaluru, Bengali associations re-establish the togetherness
and warmness of Durga Puja. But Bengalis have diverse views
regarding celebrations in City. Though, the celebration is
restricted to Bengalis and a few other small groups and there is
no definite togetherness as most of meetings are spotted around
city.
In proportion to Bengali calendar, days for Durga Puja are
calculated on basis of sunset and sunrise while tithi relies on
setting and rising of moon. The Sasthi, Saptami, Navami and
Dashami Pujas respectively, are executed after sunrise even
though they fall on earlier evenings.
Goddess Durga is adored as ‘Kumari’ or ‘young girl’ who later
exposes herself in correct form on Maha Saptami (7th day). On
Maha Ashtami (8th day) and Maha Navami (9th day), celebrations
get to an exciting pitch. On Dashami (10th day), idol of Goddess
Durga is engrossed in water. She is frequently attended by what
Bengalis embrace as their family - Kartikeya and Ganesha, her
sons, and Goddesses Saraswati and Lakshmi, who are believed to
be Durga’s daughters.
