Shubho Mahalaya

few more days left😛

Someone wanted to know about Mahalaya:

The Mahalaya can be marked as the auspicious beginning of Durga Puja, the greatest of the festivals in Bengal. Nevertheless, the countdown for festival begins from the Rathayatra when the construction of the Durga idol first begins. From the day of 'Janmastami', everyone eagerly awaits Mahalaya. Mahalaya only marks that the preparations for the Durga Puja has reached the final level and everyone starts counting hours for the ceremony to inaugurate. Meaning of Mahalaya is homecoming. According to the Hindu mythology, Goddess Durga who was married to Lord Siva returns to her paternal residence during the Puja, and this is the preparation for the welcome of the diving homecoming. Mahalaya in Bengal is very special due to three reasons. It is on the dawn of Mahalaya only that the artists, the makers of the Durga idols, paint the eyes of the Goddess. This is known as Chakshudanam, literally, giving eyes.
