Devotees come together for Sandhya Aarti at the panchayat ghar in Katwaria Sarai during Durga Puja. The priest after offering prayer takes the puja thali around in the crowd. Durga Puja, a ten-day-long Hindu festival, celebrates the victory of Goddess Durga over an ancient demon named Mahishasura and his evil attendants. While the festivities take a brilliant turn from the sixth day, all the ten days bring together people from diverse faiths to mark evil’s downfall. Also hailed as a celebration of female power, this festival culminates on Dussehra with Durga visarjan.
