This is the perhaps the singularly most important festival that unites all Bengalis during 5 continuous days and evenings of celebration. Durga Puja ('worship of Divine Mother') is the greatest socio-religious extravaganza of the Bengali Hindus and by now it has become a global celebration witnessed in almost all the major cities of the world, from New York to Los Angeles, from London to Belfast, from Durban to Tokyo. It is a mixture of spiritual sublimity and enlivened sociability that gives it a multi-dimensional excellence. The exquisite beauty of the Pratima (idol), splendidly decorated by artistic skill and colourful devotional outfit adds additional grandeur to the whole spectrum of jubilation and enlightenment. Bengali culture and Bengali literature indeed owe a lot to this prodigious socio-cultural fanfare and nostalgic articulations. The social and economic significance of Durga Puja can hardly be over-exaggerated. It involves the service of cross-sections of the people, beginning from the potters, craftsmen, drummers, painters, blacksmiths, gardeners, cleaners, decorators, artists and artisans and a host of others down to the high priests. |
