Durga Puja is not just a religious festival but a social and cultural one too. It is a time when families and friends come together, dress up in new clothes, and visit different pandals. The atmosphere is electric, with music, dance, and cultural programs being organized at various venues. People indulge in feasting on mouth-watering delicacies, such as luchi-aloor dom, cholar dal, and mishti doi, which are a staple during the festival.
Durga Puja is also a time for shopping. The markets are flooded with people buying new clothes, accessories, and gifts for their loved ones. The streets are bustling with activity, and one can feel the festive spirit in the air. The festival culminates on Vijayadashami, with the immersion of the Durga idol in the river or other water bodies. This marks the end of the festival, and people bid farewell to the goddess, hoping for her return next year.
