Barabanki, India - October 21, 2012 : Hindu Goddess Durga is the mother of the universe and believed to be the power behind the work of creation, preservation, and destruction of the world. Durga is depicted as having eight or ten hands. These represent eight quadrants or ten directions in Hinduism.
Durga Puja - the ceremonial worship of the mother goddess, is one of the most important festivals of India. Apart from being a religious festival for the Hindus, it is also an occasion for reunion and rejuvenation, and a celebration of traditional culture and customs. While the rituals entails ten days of fast, feast and worship, the last four days - Saptami, Ashtami, Navami and Dashami - are celebrated with much gaiety and grandeur in India and abroad, especially in Bengal, where the ten-armed goddess riding the lion is worshipped with great passion and devotion.
