For these four-five days, devotees of Goddess Durga offer her with variety of bhog, prasad and puja offerings, till the time she departs for heaven. It is believed that for these couple of days, Goddess Durga visits her maternal home on earth, amidst her devotees and followers and showers them with love and prosperity. In return, her devotees leave no stone unturned in making sure she is fully pampered during her stay on earth. A variation of delicious vegetarian dishes, cooked in mustard oil and also ghee, is offered to the deities every day right before it is served to the devotees and guests who come to join in the special sit-down arrangement by the pandal, taking special care of each and every guest who comes in.
