A joyful "Durga pooja" to all my friends who celebrate !!
This was shot 18 years back on film in a pooja pandal in Kolkata, somewhere near Taltala.
"நல்லதுந் தீயதுஞ் செய்திடும் சக்தி
நலத்தை நமக்கிழைப் பாள்;
அல்லது நீங்கும் என் றேயுலகேழும்
அறைந்திடு வாய் முர சே!
சொல்லத் தகுந்த பொருளன்று காண்!இங்கு
சொல்லு மவர்தமை யே,
அல்லல் கெடுத்தம ரர்க்கிணை யாக்கிடும்
ஓம்சக்தி, ஓம்சக்தி, ஓம்.

Durga is mother of Lord Ganesha (Previously i had uploaded Ganesha Chaturthi images). Goddess Durga is a form of Shakti worshiped for her gracious as well as terrifying aspect. Mother of the Universe, she represents the infinite power of the universe and is a symbol of a female dynamism. The manifestation of Goddess Durga is said to emerge from Her formless essence and the two are inseparable.
It is an annual Hindu festival in South Asia that celebrates worship of the Hindu goddess Durga. Durga Puja festival marks the victory of Goddess Durga over the evil buffalo demon Mahishasura. Thus, Durga Puja festival epitomises the victory of Good over Evil.
She is also called by many other names, such as Parvati, Ambika, and Kali. In the form of Parvati, She is known as the divine spouse of Lord Shiva and is the mother of Her two sons, Ganesha and Karttikeya, and daughter Jyoti. Destroyer of demons, she is worshiped during an annual festival called Durga puja, especially popular among Bengalis.
The music, dancing, and art displayed and performed during the Durga puja played an integral part in connecting the community in Bengal. It is a five day festival carried out offering prayers to the Goddess.

Nine days from the new moon (amavasya) of Aaswinam month of Sakha calendar is celebrated almost throughout India marking the victory of good over evil, but in various names and forms.
According to Hindu mythology all good and evil are within us and it is we who has to fight and win over our evil with our own goods. For this we use yoga and meditation but done under the guidance of an able Guru. That is why Hindu culture gives great importance to Guru.
