*History of Durga Puja in Bengal:*

Durga Puja, one of the most significant festivals in West Bengal, celebrates the victory of Goddess Durga over the buffalo demon Mahishasura, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil. The tradition of worshipping Durga dates back to ancient Bengal, but it became widely popular during the late 16th century when the landlords (zamindars) of Bengal organized grand festivities.

During the 18th century, Durga Puja became an integral part of Bengal’s culture. Wealthy Bengali families began hosting community pujas (Baroyari Puja) to make the celebration more inclusive. By the late 19th century, it evolved into a more community-based event, known as "Sarbojanin Durga Puja," where entire neighborhoods came together to celebrate.

The festival usually spans five days (Sasthi, Saptami, Ashtami, Navami, and Vijaya Dashami), but preparations begin months ahead, with artisans creating elaborate pandals (temporary temples) and idols. Today, Durga Puja is not only a religious celebration but also a showcase of artistic, cultural, and social expressions.
