Durga Puja, also known as Durgotsava or Sharadotsava, is an annual Hindu festival originating in the Indian subcontinent which reveres and pays homage to the Hindu goddess Durga and is also celebrated because of Durga's victory over Mahishasur. It is particularly popular and traditionally celebrated in the Indian states of West Bengal ,Bihar,Assam,Odisha,Tripura, and the country of Bangladesh.The festival is observed in the Indian calendar month of Ashwin, which corresponds to September–October in the Gregorian calendar.
As per Hindu Scriptures, the festival marks the victory of goddess Durga in her battle against the shape-shifting asura,Mahishasur. Thus, the festival epitomizes the victory of good over evil, though it is also in part a harvest festival celebrating the goddess as the motherly power behind all of life and creation. Durga puja coincides with Navratri and Dussehra.
