 India is the land of festival. The Indians celebrate them with great joy. The Indians are, by nature, religious people. So, religious festival are of great importance to them. There are festival like holi, Diwali and durga puja which are celebrated by Hindus. The Muslims celebrate Id and Muharram. The Christian celebrate Easter and Christmas.

Of all the festival of Hindus. I like durga Puja. It has a spiritual meaning. Worship to goddess Durga purifies soul. Durga Puja has a religious background. It is said that Goddess Durga killed Mahishasur who was a terror to all. This Puja shows the victory of good over evil. Durga is a symbol of love and hope.

Durga Puja is generally held in October or November. Nature looks very beautiful. The air is cool. It is neither to hot nor too cold. The image of goddess Durga is put up at public place. The image is well-beautiful. The Puja continuous for several days. Schools, colleges and offices are closed on this occasion.

People celebrate this Puja with great joy. Children put on new clothes. A fair is also held. Children, ladies, and grown-ups visit the fair. They make offerings to goddess Durga. This Puja is celebrated both in towns and in villages. On the Dashami evening, the image is taken to a river or pond and is immersed into the water.

Durga Puja is a religious festival. It is rooted in Indian life and culture. It is one of the most important Indian festivals.
