Overview
Durga Puja for families in Ramnagar
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.
Ramnagar lies on the eastern bank of the Ganga, across the river from the main city of Varanasi. It is best known for Ramnagar Fort, the historic residence of the former rulers of Banaras, and for its long-running traditional Ramlila held around Dussehra.
या देवी सर्वभूतेषु शक्तिरूपेण संस्थिता।
नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमो नमः॥
Yā devī sarvabhūteṣu śaktirūpeṇa saṁsthitā, namastasyai namastasyai namastasyai namo namaḥ.
Planning your puja in Ramnagar
Ramnagar is reached by road across the river; allow extra travel time from the ghats and central Varanasi.
Share your exact location in advance, as Pandits may be travelling from the city side.
Traffic can build up during the Ramlila and Dussehra period.
Independent houses and courtyards make larger havans and family gatherings easier.
For rituals that need the Ganga, the Pandit can advise whether to go to a ghat on the city side.
Tell us whether you follow the Bengali or North Indian vidhi.
Keep red flowers, chunri, a kalash and prasad ready, or ask for samagri.
