Overview
Kali Puja for families in Cantonment
Kali Puja is the worship of Maa Kali, the form of the Divine Mother who is honoured as the destroyer of ignorance and fear. Though her form is fierce, devotees relate to her above all as a mother who protects her children, and her worship is marked by deep devotion rather than fear.
The Cantonment area is one of the greener, more spacious parts of Varanasi, close to Varanasi Junction railway station. Wide roads, older bungalows and several well-known hotels give it a calmer feel than the busy centre.

Vakratuṇḍa mahākāya sūryakoṭi samaprabha, nirvighnaṁ kuru me deva sarvakāryeṣu sarvadā.
