Abstract:
Kolkata is one of the most popular cities in the world when it comes to celebrating life. And Durga Puja is not just the emotion of the Bengali community; rather it is a larger than life experience for whoever attends it. UNESCO has also accredited Kolkata Durga Puja as the ‘Intangible Cultural Heritage of the Community’. In this paper, I have tried to cover some of the aspects of Durga Puja. First a brief introduction has been given on Durga Puja in Kolkata followed by the basic and detailed identification and description of the Goddess and the process, mentioning the intrinsic repertoires fo

Abstract:
Durga puja, or the worship of goddess Durga, is the single most important festival in Bengal's rich and diverse religious calendar. It is not just that her temples are strewn all over this part of the world. In fact, goddess Kali, with whom she shares a complementary history, is easily more popular in this regard. But as a one-off festivity, Durga puja outstrips anything that happens in Bengali life in terms of pomp, glamour, and popularity. And with huge diasporic populations spread across the world, she is now also a squarely international phenomenon, with her puja being celebrated wherever

Abstract:
Galungan is a Balinese holiday, celebrating the victory of dharma (virtue) over adharma (evil). It is similar to Wijaya Dasami (Wijaya Dashami) and Durga Puja Nawaratri in India, celebrated by Hindus in other parts of the world. The word Dussehra is a variant of Dashahara which is a compound Sanskrit word meaning "ten days". Dus has the meaning "bad, evil, and sinful" and Hara means "removing, destroying", connoting "removing the bad, destroying the evil, sinful. In most of northern and western India, Dasha-Hara (literally, ten days) is celebrated in honor of Rama. Vijaya Dasami is observed af

Abstract:
Focusing on colonial Calcutta in the later decades of the nineteenth century, this essay explores the evolution of a particular festival, the Durga Puja, to explore the ways in which religion negotiated its place in the ideological determinants of modernity. The essay surveys the evolution of the goddess Durga from premodern times and shows why and how the perception of both the deity (in gender terms) and the festival (in historical terms) had to be recalibrated following the imperatives of new classes and new discursive parameters. While the essay interrogates the development of new particul

Abstract:
Between the months of September and October, Kolkata celebrates the Hindu religious festival of Durgapuja on a grand scale. Organised by local clubs and neighbourhood voluntary associations, approximately 2,500 temporary structures – pandals – are built for the worship or puja of the goddess Durga and her entourage. Of these about two thousand occupy the city’s public spaces: streets, parks, green islands, and vacant lots. A large number of the pandals are finely engineered structures that are fabulously decorated and attract hundreds of thousands of visitors each day of the festivities. It ta

AbstractFasting during festivals is a common practice across all religions, believed to be associated with spiritual well-being. No literature is available addressing the challenges associated with blood glucose control in patients with diabetes during the festivals of Navratri and Durga puja, which are associated with both culinary extravagances and ritualistic fasting. Fasting alternating with binge eating can result in severe metabolic alterations, increasing both morbidity and mortality in diabetes.
