    Overview

    Durga Puja for families in Lal Darwaza

    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.

    Lal Darwaza lies in the Old City of Hyderabad, south of Charminar. It is one of the city's historic neighbourhoods, with narrow lanes, old houses and families who have lived here for many generations.

    या देवी सर्वभूतेषु शक्तिरूपेण संस्थिता।

    नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमो नमः॥

    Yā devī sarvabhūteṣu śaktirūpeṇa saṁsthitā, namastasyai namastasyai namastasyai namo namaḥ.

    To the Goddess who dwells in all beings in the form of power, salutations to her, again and again.Devi Mahatmyam (Durga Saptashati)

    Mention whether your family follows Telugu or another regional vidhi.
    Tell us whether you follow a Telugu, Bengali or North Indian vidhi.
