Goddess Durga

DSCN9574

After nine nights ("Navaratri") are spent in the worship of Goddess Durga, the tenth day, the Dassera day, is exclusively in the Honour of Durga Devi.

Dassera day is considered a most auspicious day. It is a time-honoured belief that if any new venture is started on this day, it is bound to be successful. Hence, many new ideas/ventures, even initiating a child into the world of learning, are started on this day. The farmers with her blessings wait with tremendous hopes for a bountiful harvest.
