Durga Puja is one of the most significant festivals of Bengalis. It is celebrated to commemorate the victory of Goddess Durga over the demon Mahishasura. The festival is celebrated with a lot of fanfare around the nation. The event symbolises the universe's "Shakti," or female power—festival of good triumphing over evil. Durga Pooja is one of India's most celebrated festivals. In addition to being a Hindu holiday, it also serves as a time for family and friend reunions and a celebration of cultural values and practices.
Origin | The origin of this festival can be traced back to the period of the Mahabharata. According to a legend, Durga was created by Lord Vishnu to fight the demons and help the gods. The 10-day long festival is celebrated with great zeal and enthusiasm all over the country. Huge pandals are erected and colorful decorations are made during the course of the festival.
Celebration | Families pray to the goddess for blessings and prosperity, and offer her fruits, sweets and prayers. The pandals (temporary temples) are elaborately decorated, and people can be seen singing and dancing in the streets. The culmination of the festival is on Dashami, when devotees pray to the goddess to bless them with wisdom, strength and wealth......

This year the theme is Jungle Book. Lighting is beautifully done. Liked the emphasis on audio creating a vibe of jungle. Staff is there providing hand sanitizer sprays and ample space is there so as to maintain social distancing. Parking is made available quite far though, around 500meters. Maybe there was a parking nearby too which I was not aware of. Ample food stalls are there so you can grab a good meal.
