Agomoni 2022 - NIT Agartala

Agomoni, the event that attunes Mahalaya, the dawn of matripaksha & the ascent of Her Greatest Divinity, Goddess Durga. Mahalaya holds a very core corner in the hearts of Bengalis wherever they might be, a dawn that resembles no other.

Durga Puja, for the festival-loving Bengalis,; with the land waking up as usual in the dawn of
Mahalaya to an age-old tradition – tuned in to the enchanting melody of Birendra Krishna Bhadra's voice on ‘Mahishasura Mardini’, a set of Sanskrit recitations on India's oldest radio show aired by the
All India Radio Calcutta (now Kolkata) for the first time in the 1930s.
According to the scriptures, it is on Mahalaya that the ‘Pitru Paksha’, or the 16-day lunar day period
when Hindus pay homage to their ancestors (Pitrs), ends – thereby beginning the ‘Devi Paksha’ (“the
era of the goddess”) which the arrival of Goddess Durga, and the festival centered around her worship
– Durga Puja – heralds.
To celebrate that, students of NIT Agartala has come together to relive the story of Godess Durga and her win against evil through a dance drama followed by some dance and singing performances.
