Durga Puja in Girinagar

Durga puja time is near now,Delhi the beautiful bride is waiting its beautiful seasons of celebration and Durga puja is one of them.Durga Puja celebrates the victory of the goddess Durga over the demon Mahishasura. This is a festival that celebrates the female force or Shakti and is one of the most popular festivals in east India.Typically Durga Puja is celebrated during the final five days of Navratri.Large pandals are raised on street corners and beautiful statues of Durga are installed in it.If you are ready to visit Durga pandals you must reach to Govindpuri Junctions and CR Park of New Delhi where easily you can enjoy Durga Puja with family.The Goddess comes with Her children Devi Lakshmi, Devi Saraswati, Lord Ganesha and Lord Kartik.

Bodhan refers to awakening and as per the Puranas, Ram had first performed this ritual to cause to defeat Ravana. This event is referred to as Akalbodhanand the Durga is referred to as Sharadiya. With our prayers and puja we are entitled to awaken the supder powers of the almighty Gods and Goddesses and thus to save to save the human masses from getting affected with thje existence of evil powers.

Ghatsthapan  ritual is considered to be very important! In this ritual, a copper or Brass vessel is made filled with water and is set in front of the idol of the Goddess Dura or an earthen base. Right over the vessel, 5, 7 or 9 leaves of mango tree along with a clean piece of cloth and a coconut is placed over the vessel. This is a way of purifying the ambience of the place where it is the vessel is put in.he Samrpan of fruits and other materials is the part of purifying the human soul. Mythalogies teaches us that it is Yagna that makes our souls pure enough to bring in that needed dedication for God.During older times, it was a ritual to sacrifice animals in order to complete the Puja but these days it is considered unethical to take the life of living being for the making completion of any type of Puja.
Yagna.

The bhog is the blessed food of the Durga Puja, a ritual meal lasting five days of the annual religious ceremony. It is eaten at lunch, traditionally by rows of persons seated on the puja bari floor, ladled out by volunteers rushing around importantly, holding large pails of steaming khichuri, straw baskets of fried vegetables and the eagerly-anticipated kheer in delicate pots. We family members enjoy Durga puja a lot and everything prepared on time .The regular visits to nearby pandals add a charm in life.Girinagar is decorated as bride as everyone in the community tries to decorate home as possible and perform the rituals of Navaratree having mata ki chowki bhajans with feeding nine girls after worshipping them.I also love the ritual.

Celebrations of Ashtami and MahaNavami vary from region to region in India. On this day, Havan (sacrificial offerings to fire) ceremony is performed in the morning and Kanya Puja is conducted afterwards.  During this Kanya or Kumari Pujan, 9 girls or 9 kumaris representing 9 forms of Goddess Shakti, are invited at their homes by the devotees. Then they wash their feet, offer ‘bhog’ to them and present them with new clothes and other items. Washing of feet is a way of showing the respect towards the Goddess. They are feasted with the food that includes halwa, puri, chana ya chole ki sabzi and kheer.
