Srinagar (Jammu and Kashmir) [India], October 9 (ANI): Durga Puja has long been one of the most revered festivals for Bengalis, symbolising the triumph of good over evil through the epic tale of Goddess Durga’s victory over the demon Mahishasura.
Traditionally celebrated with grandeur across West Bengal and other parts of India, this year marked a significant milestone in the cultural landscape of Srinagar, as the festival was celebrated for the first time in the city.
The Sarbojanin Shree Durga Puja was organised by the Bengali Swarna Shilpi Brinda, a community of Bengali goldsmiths who have been residing in the region for several generations.
The event holds immense importance, not only because of the cultural significance of Durga Puja itself but also because it reflects the growing diversity and inclusivity of Srinagar.
For the first time, locals, tourists, and the Bengali community in Srinagar came together to celebrate this five-day festival. The event took place at a designated pandal, where the idol of Goddess Durga was installed in full glory, accompanied by the traditional decor and rituals synonymous with the festival.
The pandal was an elaborate structure, adorned with bright colours, traditional Bengali art, and a beautiful depiction of the Goddess slaying Mahishasura.
The celebration of Durga Puja in Srinagar was more than just a religious or cultural festival; it was a significant moment in the city’s history. Sanskrit mantras were recited, accompanied by the beats of the *dhaak* (traditional Bengali drums).
The rhythmic sounds of the dhaak reverberated across the area, creating an atmosphere of devotion and celebration. The DIG of Central Kashmir from Jammu and Kashmir Police also participated in this special event. (ANI)
