Durga Puja— the ceremonial worship of the mother goddess, is one of the most important festivals of India. Apart from being a religious festival for the Hindus, it is also an occasion for reunion and rejuvenation, and a celebration of traditional culture and customs. While the rituals entail ten days of fast, feast and worship, the last four days— Saptami, Ashtami , Navami, and Dashami— are celebrated with much gaiety and grandeur in India and abroad, especially in Bengal, where the ten-armed goddess riding the lion is worshipped with great passion and devotion.

Mythology: Rama's 'Akal Bodhan'

Durga Puja is celebrated every year in the Hindu month of Ashwin (September-October) and commemorates Prince Rama 's invocation of the goddess before going to war with the demon king Ravana. This autumnal ritual was different from the conventional Durga Puja, which is usually celebrated in the springtime. So, this Puja is also known as 'akal-bodhan' or out-of-season ('akal') worship ('bodhan'). Thus goes the story of Lord Rama , who first worshipped the 'Mahishasura Mardini' or the slayer of the buffalo-demon, by offering 108 blue lotuses and lighting 108 lamps, at this time of the year.

Origin and History

The first grand worship of Goddess Durga in recorded history is said to have been celebrated in the late 1500s. Folklores say the landlords, or zamindar, of Dinajpur and Malda initiated the first Durga Puja in Bengal. According to another source, Raja Kangshanarayan of Taherpur or Bhabananda Mazumdar of Nadiya organized the first Sharadiya or Autumn Durga Puja in Bengal in c. 1606.

The origin of the community puja can be credited to the twelve friends of Guptipara in Hoogly, West Bengal, who collaborated and collected contributions from local residents to conduct the first community puja called the 'baro-yaari' puja, or the 'twelve-pal' puja, in 1790. The baro-yaari puja was brought to Kolkata in 1832 by Raja Harinath of Cossimbazar, who performed the Durga Puja at his ancestral home in Murshidabad from 1824 to 1831, notes Somendra Chandra Nandy in 'Durga Puja: A Rational Approach' published in The Statesman Festival , 1991.

"The baro-yaari puja gave way to the sarbajanin or community puja in 1910, when the Sanatan Dharmotsahini Sabha organized the first truly community puja in Baghbazar in Kolkata with full public contribution, public control, and public participation. Now the dominant mode of Bengali Durga Puja is the 'public' version," write M. D. Muthukumaraswamy and Molly Kaushal in Folklore, Public Sphere, and Civil Society . The institution of the community Durga Puja in the 18th and the 19th century Bengal contributed vigorously to the development of Hindu Bengali culture.

British Involvement in Durga Puja

The research paper further indicates that:

"high level British officials regularly attend Durga Pujas organized by influential Bengalis and British soldiers actually participate in the pujas, have praised, and even salute the deity, but 'the most amazing act of worship was performed by the East India Company itself: in 1765 it offered a thanksgiving Puja, no doubt as a politic act to appease its Hindu subjects, on obtaining the Diwani of Bengal.' (Sukanta Chaudhuri, ed. Calcutta: the Living City, Vol. 1: The Past) And it is reported that even the Company auditor-general John Chips organized Durga Puja at his Birbhum office. In fact, the full official participation of the British in the Durga Puja continued till 1840, when a law was promulgated by the government banning such participation."

In 1911, with the shifting of the capital of British India to Delhi, many Bengalis migrated to the city to work in government offices. The first Durga Puja in Delhi was held in c. 1910, when it was performed by ritually consecrating the ' mangal kalash ' symbolizing the deity. This Durga Puja, which celebrates its centennial in 2009, is also known as the Kashmere Gate Durga Puja, currently organized by the Delhi Durga Puja Samiti in the lawns of Bengali Senior Secondary School, Alipur Road, Delhi.

Evolution of the 'Pratima' and the 'Pandal'

The traditional icon of the goddess worshiped during the Durga Puja is in line with the iconography delineated in the scriptures. In Durga, the Gods bestowed their powers to co-create a beautiful goddess with ten arms, each carrying their most lethal weapon. The tableau of Durga also features her four children— Kartikeya , Ganesha , Saraswati , and Lakshmi . Traditional clay image of Durga, or pratima, made of clay with all five gods and goddesses under one structure is known as 'ek-chala' ('ek' = one, 'chala' = cover).

There are two kinds of embellishments that are used on clay— sholar saaj and daker saaj . In the former, the pratima is traditionally decorated with the white core of the shola reed which grows within marshlands. As the devotees grew wealthier, beaten silver (rangta) was used. The silver used to be imported from Germany and was delivered by post (dak) . Hence the name daker saaj .

The huge temporary canopies—held by a framework of bamboo poles and draped with colorful fabric—that house the icons are called 'pandals.' Modern pandals are innovative, artistic and decorative at the same time, offering a visual spectacle for the numerous visitors who go 'pandal-hopping' during the four days of Durga Puja.

  • Durga puja or Sharodotsav as it is known in Bengal is the annual invocation and worship of the supreme Mother Goddess or Shakti. The festival is a five day affair. Its beauty and versatility lies in the fact that the religious affair is not restricted to a particular community or group of people. In Bengal it is a sort of carnival where every person residing takes part and enjoys the festivities in some way or the other irrespective of their caste, creed, and religious obligations. Durga puja or sharodiyadurga puja is held at the onset of autumn after the monsoon starts receding.
  • History says that, there was another time at which the festival was held, at the onset of summer and was referred to as the Basanti Durga puja. Over time, the autumn festival however, gained more popularity. The mythological reference says that this puja was started by lord Ram to win the war with Ravan. Durga puja marks the battle of goddess Durga with the form changing extremely powerful and strong buffalo demon Mahishasura. The battle ends with ma Durga defeating the demon which is symbolic of the victory of the good over the evil, which is a primary theme of the puja. This overlaps with Vijayadashami (Dussehra) observed by other groups of the Hindu religion where, the theme remains constant and the victory of Rama over demon Ravana is observed instead. Since the puja is conducted during the apparent southward journey of the sun towards the equator, it is also called Akal (untimely) Bodhan as most of the Hindu festivals are held during Uttarayn or the apparent northward journey of the sun. In the hindu calendar, the festival is observed during the month of ashvin which is around September and October.
  • Mahalaya and the famous Mahishasurmardini in all India Radio
  • The puja which is primarily of 5 days observes creation and decoration of temples or temporary stages (pandals) to carry out the puja accompanied with recitation of scripture (mantras), socio-cultural performance of art, and activities to bring the people together. The puja traditionally starts off with the two hour programme on all India radio known as mahishasurmardini on the morn of mahalaya. The love for the puja and the indigenous culture is depicted in the fact that Bengalis wake up at 4 am on the morning of mahalaya, to listen to the holy chandipath in the voice of Birendra Krishna Bhadra and late Pankaj Kumar Mallick. Several other programmes are held on TV and radio channels. Special local magazine issues for the puja in local magazines such as Bartaman, Anandalok, Shanaanda, Shukhtara, etc are quite a craze among the people. These not only portray writings and articles of famous writers, but also provide a broad platform to upcoming local writers to showcase their talent.
  • Historic foundation
  • Historically, Durga puja was first started around the 16th century. It took place mostly in the houses and palaces of the rich local landlords and Rajas. The commoners had to remain satisfied by visiting these houses only to have a mere glimpse of the festivities. The puja gained great prominence during the British Raj period in its provinces of Bengal and Assam. It is also believed that the worship of the warrior goddess and her darker and more violent version Kaali became more frequent in the Bengal region during and after the Muslim invasion in the medieval era. It was in the mid-eighteenth as legend has it that, a group of friends started organising the puja by pooling in funds. This system of organising the festival came to be known as BaroYaari (12 friends) Puja. Goes without saying that the number of organisers and contributors soon exceeded 12 and at presence the entire populacetakes part in numerous such community pujas by generously contributing money and most importantly their time, energy, dedication, and efforts to plan and organise each such puja and make it stand out of the rest.
  • Popularity of the festival
  • Of late even corporates have entered the fray given the extreme popularity of the festival. Kolkata Durga puja is the biggest, most flamboyant and widely celebrated festival of West Bengal. Much like the Carnival of Rio De Janerio, Brazil or the Ganesh Chaturdashi of Maharashtra, 1000s of people are involved in the celebrations let alone the unending crowd frenzy. The main puja starts from the sixth day or shashthi and ends on the 10th day of dasami or durgadasami with the immersion of the idols into the holy river of ganga or any local water body which is a believe symbolic to send ma durga back to the holy cosmos and to her husbands house in Kailash. The idols initially made of biodegradable substances such as hay, clay, and bamboo is not so hazardous to the environment. But the use of cheap paints and chemicals to quick dry the idols, pose a threat to the environment of heavy metal pollution. To control this, free biodegradable and non-hazardous paints are distributed among the idol makers by government authorities.
  • Durga Puja in India
  • Todays durga puja is not only restricted to Kolkata, west Bengal and its adjoining areas of Assam, Bihar and Odisha. Durga pujas can be found happening in as far as the American and European countries. The Delhi durga pujas of cashmere gate and Chittaranjan Park are quite famous and was started as early as the 1910s. Durga puja in Kolkata are of several typesthere are theme based pandal pujas, traditional pujas happening for more than 100s of years in the so called bonedibaris of Kolkata, and there are pujas seen to be performed by small comities in a locality or apartments. Some the old traditional pujas of kolkata include the shobhabazarrajbari puja, daw bari puja, chhatubabu and latubabusbarir puja, pathurighatabarir puja, the durga puja of rani rashmonis house, Chandra barir puja, thantania Dutta barir puja among several others. Some of the famous pandal pujas are witnessed in northern parts of Kolkata in baghbazar, belgachia, md ali park puja, lake town adhibashibrindo, sreebhumi sports club, college square puja, while the ones in south are ekdaliahevergereen, behala, naktala, kasba, 23 pally deshapriya park puja and the list goes on not only do the Bengalis but people of all communities take part in puja parikrama. It involves pandalhopping , day as well as night plans, taking part in local programmes with extravagant display of art and cultuere through music, artwork, dance, and dance dramas.
  • The ecstasy, the madness, the flamboyance, and the craze surrounding this festival of durga puja, the biggest annual festival of the Bengalis, knows no bounds.

DurgaPuja in Kolkata

Short Introduction of DurgaPuja Durgapuja or Sharodotsav as it is known in Bengal is the annual invocation and worship of the supreme Mother Goddess or Shakti. The festival is a five day affair. Its beauty and versatility lies in the fact that the religious affair is not restricted to a particular community or group of people. In Bengal it is a sort of carnival where every person residing takes part and enjoys the festivities in some way or the other irrespective of their caste, creed, and religious obligations. Durgapuja or sharodiyadurgapuja is held at the onset of autumn after the monsoon starts receding.
