Devi is ready to mark her arrival.. The serene & melodious sound of her anklets is heard, while the Sankh's majestic sound waves, makes the atmosphere vibrate with sacred energy... Maa Durga is coming seated on a lion, radiating power & compassion...The ten armed Goddess is coming! Jai Mata di...🙏
"The dainty autumn clouds have moved away slowly in the blue ocean, paving the way for winter... The earth has just been cleansed & got back its hue.. There is a cool breeze in the air whispering the arrival of Maa. The air vibrates in anticipation as her weapons materialize..."
In the entire circle of the year, there are no days so delightful as of October!
It's the doorway to the season that awakens my soul. Following my favourite festivals starting from Durga Puja, Sharad Purnima, Kartik Purnima, then Diwali n so on…
Odisha awakens to the festive spirit, as Durga Puja preparation begins.. Durga Puja in Odisha is a vibrant & deeply revered festival, showcasing the state's rich cultural heritage... The festivities commences with Mahalaya, marking Maa Durga's descent to the earth.. The main Puja days, Sasthi, Saptami, Astami, Nabami & Dasami, are filled with elaborate rituals including the chanting of Mantras, offering prasads & the symbolic slaying of Mahishasura...
It's the Puja season which I would be waiting through out the year with excitement, joy & cheers....
The blooms of kasatandi (sachharium spontaneum) flowers are in full swing to welcome Maa's arrival… The streets & shops have all decked up with lights & the happy souls tapping there feet to the chimes of bells n dholaks.. The City of temples is glittering with twinkling lights.. There is a festive mood in every corner... The street vendors & hawkers are all ready with their goodies for sales.. The scent of fresh flowers- Marigold & Chrysenthamem have filled the air.. The Puja shoppings have begun , the enthusiasm for new clothes n accessories, the evening pandal hopping with family, counting on the best pandal visited, the food delights, the dandiya raas, the family & relatives get-togethers are on the pinnacle.. My memories of Durga Puja holidays are the best ones 💞
