Maha Sasthi Bodhan of Goddess Durga

Amlan Biswas

Different moments of Goddess Durga Bodhan at Kolkata. Mahasasthi is perhaps the most important day during the Durga Pujas. The preparations for the Puja are completed on this day. Bodhan: This is performed at dusk. Durga Puja falls midway through the sleeping period of the Gods, hence they need an ‘awakening’, which is nothing but the Bodhan.
