Overview
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.
Durgakund takes its name from the historic Durga temple and the large water tank, or kund, beside it. The area sits in south Varanasi between Bhelupur and Lanka, along the road that leads towards the Sankat Mochan Hanuman temple, and it has long been one of the most devotional parts of Kashi.
