Durga Puja 2022: Festive spirit ignites among devotees; a quick look at Pandals and celebration- IN PICS
Indians are jolted with joy, colour and happiness and are pumped with devotion owing to the onset of Hindu festivals beginning with Navratri. Celebrations engulf the nation as people worship the nine forms of the deity during Navratras. Pandals across the country are all picture perfect ready to welcome the devotees to visit their deity. From politicians to celebrities, everyone has gathered to celebrate the festival across the nation. After two whole years post-COVID, the country, especially West Bengal is at its full charm and vigour to resume its full fledged celebrations of Durga Puja.
Devotees worship Maa Durga's nine incarnations throughout the nine-day Navratri celebration in order to earn her blessings. Each day of Navratri is associated with a goddess manifestation. People observe ceremonial fasts, recite shlokas dedicated to each goddess, wear new attire, offer bhog, and clean their homes throughout these nine days. They implore the goddess for her favour in order to have successful, joyful, and full lives.
