Overview
Durga Puja for families in Babatpur
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.
Babatpur, on the north-western outskirts of Varanasi, is best known as the location of the city's airport, Lal Bahadur Shastri International Airport. The area has villages, farmland, highway-side hotels and newer houses along the road into the city.
या देवी सर्वभूतेषु शक्तिरूपेण संस्थिता।

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