Durga Puja is one of the Hindu festivals of India, which is celebrated massively all over India. We celebrate Durga Puja in autumn. We worship Goddess Durga, who killed Mahishasura, symbolizing the victory over evil. Goddess Durga is worshipped for three days, and on the fourth day, we immerse her in the water

Yah the charak puja series is not done yet :)
I was kinda happy with the wide angle composition of this photo ..but it was little over exposed due to the continues change of lighting condition..and reason for that was random rays through the moving clouds. So I had to work for a very long (really long) time to create the same effect I am trying to give the series.

Puja is the sanskrit word for a religioue ceremony .
In Hinduisme and Buddhisme it means worshiping God.
Chhath Puja is a four-day elaborate celebration in honour of the Sun. It involves a long fast without water, and making offerings to Usha and Pratyusha, the light of the rising and the setting Sun respectively, while standing in a water body.
An interlude during the daily Mahakala puja sees the sunshine from outside splash into the main temple, bathing Lama Martine in a warm light, as Lama Chodrak rides the cymbals and Lama Drolma (in the background) offers incense to the Mahakala shrine and tormas.
Questions come to mind of the reasons behind these ceremonies, of the necessity of these loud, colorful and intense human traditions. I keep them to myself and enjoy the moment, staying open and respectful, they will find their way and Ill find mine.
Dusshera is celebrated in Autumn (Sept-Oct) every year in different parts of India.It signifies the victory of good over evil.
In the eastern Indian state of West Bengal we celebrate Durga Puja during this time.As per Bengali tradition,every year in Autumn(September-October) Goddess Durga comes to her parental home for 5 days accompanied by her four children - Saraswati(Goddess of Learning & Arts),Laxmi(Goddess of weath),Ganesha (the Elephant God)and Kartikeya( the Bachelor God).For 5 days her idol is placed in beautiful pavilions(pandals) and she is worshipped and treated with all the tender love and care that a married daughter receives in her parental nest.The beautiful pandals are made of bamboo,cloth,papier mache,wood,and other materials.On the last day of Vijaya Dashami the images are taken out in a procession and immersed in rivers or other water bodies.
Nowhere is this festival celebrated with as much fanfare as in Kolkata(Calcutta).All Calcuttans irrespective of their religion come together to celebrate this festival in a spirit of love and brotherhood.It is a time for new clothes,good food,meeting up with friends and relatives,romancing and of course pandal hopping to see the best idols.:-)
I thought my friends would like to see a close-up of one of these lovely idols in full splendour.Here Goddess Durga is shown slaying the evil demon Mahishashura.To the left of the shot is Lakshmi(the Goddess of Wealth) and Ganesha the Elephant God and to the right is Saraswati (the Goddess of Learning & Arts) and Kartikeya the Bachelor God.

The cow, the mother of the universe, is worshiped by Hindus. According to Hinduism, the human infant is fed breast milk by its human mother for three years. After weaning, the cow acts as the surrogate mother providing milk for the rest of the human life – through childhood, adult age and old age. Cows are the mothers of the universe, the sacred animal. Hindus consider a cow as sacred and used its milk, dung and even urine for purification purpose.
