FollowThe auspicious day of Mahalaya signals the conclusion of Pitru Paksha and the start of Devi Paksha. It is claimed that Mahalaya Amvasya is when Goddess Durga descends to earth. This day is also regarded as the most auspicious day for the start of Durga Puja, which leads to Dussehra. This year, Mahalaya will be held on October 2, coinciding with a national holiday commemorating Gandhi Jayanti. Mahalaya is significant because on the last day of Pitru Paksha, rituals such as Shradh and Tarpan are done to honour ancestors and seek their blessings.
As the Durga Puja festival approaches, the air is filled with one of the most beloved traditions: the Mahishasura Mardini recitation. For centuries, Durga Puja celebrations have revolved on this ancient Sanskrit poetry.
