Today is Mahasaptami

After a long year of waiting, the five-day autumn Durga Puja, the main religious festival of the Bengali traditionalists, has started with Shasthi Puja. The pooja started on Wednesday yesterday by purifying the evil energy.

Today is Thursday Mahasaptami. In the morning, the idol of Trinayani Devi is ‘established’ through eye donation. On Saptami Tithi, Goddess Navapatrika entry, installation, Saptamidi Kalparambha and Saptami Vihit Puja Prastha are performed at 7:55 AM. Then the pilgrims offered Anjali.

Apart from this, the rituals of puja will continue throughout the day through Chandi and Mantrapath, Goddess-darshan, offering anjali to the devotees at the feet of the Goddess, taking Prasad.

Tomorrow is Friday Mahashtami and Saturday is Mahanavami. However, according to the calendar, Dashami Vihit Puja will be held this Saturday after Mahanavami Puja. Vijaya Dashami will be celebrated next Sunday. The Vijaya procession will take place that afternoon. This time Devi Durga arrived in a dola or palanquin and moved on a ghotak or horse.
