Description

Durga Pooja is a significant ritual dedicated to honoring Goddess Durga, who is revered as a powerful and compassionate deity. This pooja is performed to seek her blessings for overcoming challenges, achieving success, and ensuring protection from negative influences.

The ritual begins with the purification of the space and setting up of a sacred altar for Goddess Durga. The priest performs the pooja by invoking the goddess through the recitation of specific mantras and offering prayers. Key offerings include ghee, rice, sesame seeds, fruits, and flowers, which are considered auspicious for this pooja.
