What is Durga Puja?
Durga Puja honours Goddess Durga, the fierce yet compassionate form of Shakti who, in the Devi Mahatmya, defeats the buffalo demon Mahishasura. She is worshipped as a mother who protects her devotees and restores balance when adharma rises.
At home, a Durga Puja usually includes kalash sthapana, invocation of the Goddess, offerings of red chunri, sindoor, hibiscus and other red flowers, recitation from the Durga Saptashati or Durga Chalisa, and aarti. It may be performed on a single day or across the festival period, depending on the family's wishes.
The best-known celebration is during Sharad Navratri, and in Bengali tradition the grand Durga Puja from Shashthi to Vijaya Dashami. Varanasi, with its large Bengali community, has a long history of both home and community pujas. Customs vary widely, and the Pandit will follow your family's tradition.
Significance
The Devi Mahatmya, part of the Markandeya Purana, tells how the gods combined their powers to manifest Durga. Her many arms carry weapons given by different deities, a symbol that she holds the strength of all divine forces together.
Devotees associate Durga worship with courage, protection and inner strength, and with the victory of good over negativity. Ashtami and Navami are traditionally considered especially powerful days for her worship.
या देवी सर्वभूतेषु शक्तिरूपेण संस्थिता।
नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमो नमः॥

Durga Puja FAQs
If yours is not here, ask it. A real person answers every message on WhatsApp.
How much does Durga Puja at home cost?
It depends on the vidhi, whether it is one day or several, how much path is included, the number of Pandits, samagri and location. Share details on WhatsApp for a quote.
Can Durga Puja be performed at home instead of a pandal?
Yes. Many families perform a simpler Durga Puja at home with a picture or small idol, kalash, path and aarti.
What is the difference between Durga Puja and Navratri Puja?
