Durga Puja - Bangalore (Geetanjali)

Image
Dasara, also spelt as Dussehra, is observed on the tenth day in Shukla Paksha of Ashwin or Ashwayuja month.  In 2010, the date of Dasara is October 17. It is also called as Vijaya Dashami. Dussehra is the final day of Durga Navratri Puja. The great legend of Navratri dates back to the story of Mahishasura, the mighty demon, who worshipped Lord Shiva and obtained invincible powers. Soon, he started killing the innocent lives on the earth and set out to win the seven lokas, and acquired the swarglok. Even the three mighty Gods of the Hindu Trinity - Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu and Lord Shiva were unable to defeat him. Therefore, all the Gods, including the Hindu Trinity, united their supreme powers and created a divine being called Shakti or Durga, the Warrior Goddess. First day o f Navratri – Kalasha Sthapana (Kalasha Pooja) or Ghata Sthapana – Shailaputri Puja Second day of Navratri – Preeti Dwitiya – Brahmacharini Puja Third day of Navaratri – Chandrakanta pooja
