Reflective sunlight beams through a silk vale in the cold morning air. The crisp crunch of frost under foot twinkles like scattered diamonds, as I step into the light once more.

Durga Pooja has always been an integral part of the Hindu culture. However, the origin of public celebrations of grand Durga Puja can be traced back to the 16th century. With the ascent of the Mughals, Durga Puja became more of a status symbol in those days. Grand celebrations, gala feasts and huge fan fare was part of the very first 'Sharadiya Durgotsab' festivals organized by Raja Kangshanarayan of Taherpur and Bhabananda Mazumdar of Nadiya in 1606. Annual festival of Durga Puja soon became the most celebrated festival and as a day for merriment with friends, relatives, neighbors and acquaintances. Opulence and extravagance became an inseparable part among the powerful and rich Bengalis. However, there were people who celebrated Durga Puja on their household level in a traditional manner, which were characterized by much more devotion and sentiments attached to the festival than the mere show off of the richer and more prosperous people.
With time many cultural performances and shows became attached to Durga Puja for entertainment and religious purposes such as colorful procession known as 'Jatra', puppet dance, Kobi gaan (a type of songs), Kirtan or devotional songs and magic shows that are the favorites of the children and adults alike.
Earlier, animal and even human sacrifices were very common on the eighth day of the festival but eventually; this tradition has now become obsolete. There was an additional custom of 'Baroyari' meaning a group of twelve friends that originated in 1790 in Guptipara in Hoogly in Bengal. It is also known as 'Sarbojanin puja'.

Ah, the orange lights of Hamilton. Stacked chairs outside at McMaster University after some event I saw on my way to evening class tonight. I took this photo on the way back from class. Luckily enough, there were tables still out as well which I could set my camera on for this long exposure.
I also tried to capture the nice light on a couple of willow trees, but unfortunately there was no table nearby. I was totally begging for West Nile sitting in the grass in the dark as still as I could with my knees up and all the books I had with me balanced on my knees with the camera on top of that, held portrait-style, with the shutter speed set to a varying number of seconds. Unfortunately, but predictably, none of them turned out very well. Maybe another time when I remember to bring my minipod and collapsible table. And some bug spray.
