Mahalaya 2022

Mahalaya, an auspicious occasion in the Hindu calendar, takes place on Wednesday, October 2, 2024. This momentous day marks the beginning of Debi Paksha (the Goddess' period) and corresponds with the end of Pitru Paksha. Devotees eagerly anticipate Goddess Durga's entrance, which heralds the approaching Durga Puja celebrations.

Significance of Mahalaya
Mahalaya is a devotional day observed in Bengal, Odisha, Assam, Tripura, and Bihar. It is marked with considerable enthusiasm as devotees prepare to welcome Maa Durga into their homes and hearts. Tune up to FM 107.0 MHz at 4 a.m. on October 2 to hear Birendra Krishna Bhadra's rich baritone voice telling the Mahishashur Mardini.

Traditional Rituals of Mahalaya
According to Bengali custom, the day begins early, with devotees rising at 4 a.m. to listen to Mahishashur Mardini, a lyrical narration by the late radio announcer Birendra Krishna Bhadra. This intriguing broadcast follows Maa Durga's mission to defeat the buffalo monster Mahishashura.

Families also execute the Tarpan rite, which involves paying honour to their ancestors by presenting water to their spirits on the banks of the Ganges. Sculptors also prepare for the celebrations by creating the eyes of Goddess Durga, which represent her entrance.
