She is invoked and worshipped today in all her nine forms as Nava Durga, as Ashta shakti , in her ferocious rudra roop..as Uma Kumari as she manifest herself in form of young girl who is pure in heart.
.
At the sacred juncture of Sandhi pujo between asthami and Navami, she opens her third eye and manifest herself as Devi Chamunda to slay Chand - Mund demons.
Later she is being worshipped by everyone ... By illuminating108 diyas and 108 blue lotus at her feet.

💮 মহা সপ্তমী শুভেচছা 💮
Today is the seventh day of Devi Paksha. Maha Saptami.
Today she is worshipped as Ma Kaalratri.
The celebration has begun yesterday and festive fervour continues... Amidst the hedonic fragrance of dhoop, chandan, karpur and flowers. Rhythmic resonance of dhaak, bells and conch... Pushpanjali, pujor notun saree, gaan, adda and mishti. Somewhere between we grew up..

The main ritual of maha saptami today is - Nabapatrika snan. An age old pauraanik tradition of uniting nine different plants, vital for the sustenance of life on earth. Banana, turmeric, colocassia, jayanti, pomegranate, bilva ( wood apple), ashok, aurum and dhaan / paddy - each denoting nine forms of Shakti. Devi Nabapatrika is invoked today, dressed up as new bride and then placed on the right side of Devi Durga.
.
This ritual is symbolic of the fact that after the fierce battle of victory of good over evil , world order need to be restored, re established and luxuriant vegetation reappear to sustain life on Earth 🌍.
.
🤔Why I am writing about these rituals of Durga Puja? In the midst of commercialization of almost everything, this is my humble attempt to tell the world why and how we celebrate Durga Puja. In the process, myth bursting of many pre conceived notion about Bengali culture.

💮It is that time of the year again...when the autumn sky is painted in deep azure blue. The air is mildly scented with the fragrance of fresh shiuli flowers that beautifully carpets the surrounding green grass, like fresh morning dew drops...
.
💮Time to revel into the fervor of festivities. #pujoasche
Time to hone your skills , time to perfect the Bhoger khichuri and Bhoger labra tarkari..

💮. A perpetual tradition that remains timeless through centuries, of offering khichuri and labra to the supreme being and continuing still today in many thakurbari ( deities home) and temples.

Labra is a beautiful medley of seasonal vegetables cooked without onions, garlic and tomatoes, with minimal of spices so that real flavours can shine through.
