Godess Durga

Durga Puja which is the greatest festival of West Bengal, India, is a celebration of creativity of little known artists and electricians. According to hindu mythology, Godess Durga is mother who is all powerful and kills the demons (evils of mind). She is married to Shiva (god of destruction and dance) and has four children- Ganesha , Godess Lakhmi , Godess Saraswati and God kartikeya (God of War). All the idols are made up of clay and are immersed after three days of Puja(worship). The temporary structure (Pendals) are made up of bamboo, clothes and lighting uses ordinary bulbs. Various monuments, caves , ancient architectures, dance poses, rural and city life are simulated. In this figure you see a piece of Buddhist Pagoda (inside). Its a treat to eyes.
