Durga Puja Durga Puja commences today
Dhaka, October 22: Durga Puja, the biggest religious festival of the Hindu community in Bangladesh, is set to begin on Thursday, with puja restricted to just worship while adhering to hygiene rules in order to avoid contracting Coronavirus.
The five-day puja will begin today and end on Monday, October 26, with the immersion of the idol on Vijaya Dashami.
Devotees will now pray to the goddess to keep all the people of the world free from coronavirus.
The leaders of the Bangladesh Puja Celebration Parishad and the Hindu community have called upon the traditional community to organize and participate in the Durga Puja in full compliance with the hygienic guidelines prescribed by the government.
Because, this year's pujo is not like other years as it is taking place in the atmosphere of Corona pandemic.
Various religious ceremonies have been shortened this year to prevent coronavirus infection due to the corona epidemic.
This time Mahalaya was on September 17.
Although Durga Puja is usually held after six days after Mahalaya, this time as per the calendar, Ashwin month was 'Mal mas' means evil month, so puja is being held in the month of Kartik.
