What is Durga Pooja?
Durga Pooja is the worship of Goddess Durga, who destroyed the demon Mahishasura, for protection, strength and victory of good over evil. It takes 2 to 3 hours at home with 1 to 2 pandits.
Durga puja in the city of Kanaka Durga
Indrakeeladri sets the tone for Devi worship in Vijayawada. During Dasara the Goddess appears in a different alankaram each day, and many homes follow the same sequence in a simpler way. Families on Bhavani Deeksha often add a home puja to the season, ending with the climb to the temple for Deeksha Viramana.
Worth planning for
- Tell your pandit if a family member is on Bhavani Deeksha.
- Dasara dates are the first to fill.
- Expect heavy traffic near Indrakeeladri during the festival.
