Overview
Durga Puja for families in Rathyatra
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.
Rathyatra is one of the best-known crossings in central Varanasi, linking Sigra, Mahmoorganj and the roads towards the south of the city. Its name comes from the traditional Rath Yatra fair of Lord Jagannath held in the area each year.
या देवी सर्वभूतेषु शक्तिरूपेण संस्थिता।
नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमो नमः॥
