AGARTALA, Oct 10 (TIWN): Clubs across Tripura are busy in puja preparations as various clubs’ pandals are to be inaugurated from today. CM to various leaders will participate in Durga puja pandal inauguration programmes. Today is Maha Panchami which starts the festive temperament whereas the actual puja in the Bengali community will begin from tomorrow with Maha-Shashthi. As per Hindu scriptures, the festival marks the victory of goddess Durga in her battle against the shape-shifting asura, Mahishasura. 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.
The five days of Durga Puja are observed as Shashthi, Maha Saptami, Maha Ashtami, Maha Navami and Vijayadashami. Each day has its own meaning and significance. The first day of Durga Puja festival is known as Mahalaya. It is said that on the day of Mahalaya there was a clash between the demons and devas.
As per mythology, on the 6th day (Maha Shashti) Goddess Durga landed on earth with her 4 children: Goddess Saraswati, Goddess Laxmi, Lord Ganesha, and Lord Kartikeya.
