Overview
Durga Puja for families in Ravindrapuri
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.
Ravindrapuri is one of the better-planned residential colonies of south Varanasi, with wider roads, independent houses, apartment buildings, restaurants and clinics. It lies close to Bhelupur, Durgakund and Lanka.
या देवी सर्वभूतेषु शक्तिरूपेण संस्थिता।
नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमस्तस्यै नमो नमः॥
Yā devī sarvabhūteṣu śaktirūpeṇa saṁsthitā, namastasyai namastasyai namastasyai namo namaḥ.
