Though I have been in Delhi for the outgoing twenty years, I ne'er dared to go into a puja pandal (temporary shelter, previously owned for hero worship), as I was nether the synopsis that it essential be a 'Bengali' thing (an cultural collection be to hesperian element of India). Unfortunately I did not have any Bengali friends at that clip to variety me agnize that how my internal representation was improper. The possibility to call on a Puja Pandal came on my way merely after my moving to my new residence titled Kendriya Vihar.

During the calendar month of October, few Bengali friends of Kendriya Vihar came to my student house and knowing that they are going to manage their original Durga puja street party at our body and invited me to attend the puja.

Since I was always ardent to stop by a puja pandal but ne'er did so due to my perception, well thought out the invitation as an chance to execute my ache to meeting a Puja Pandal.

On the premier day of Durga puja, I entered the puja pandal with stuffed of anxiety and thrill. The moment I entered the pandal, I was quite understood aback on seeing the immense Durga image. I was completely fascinated by its beauty. It was a breathless endure.

Lot of devotees concentrated here and started offering their prayers to the simulacrum. Few devotees were saltation in front of the image with cadent safe of the rataplan. I was altogether mesmerised on seeing the devotees terpsichore in frontal of the graven image by retentive the mud lawn bowling chock-a-block near sweltering wood in some their keeping and as well in their rima oris. The way they were wiggly their safekeeping in need dropping the bowls were astonishing.

In the cultural programmes, artists from a mixture of environs of India showed their endowment in advance of the heroic audience. Little brood of Kendriya Vihar were performing varied auditory communication and barn dance programme, which enslaved the viewers. Community repast served was so juicy and it was an possibility for the culture who came from remaining surround of India to piece the flush Bengali cooking.

The together body wore a festal form during the celebration. All residents were participated in the puja with wonderful keenness.

After witnessing the dealings of the puja pandal at Kendriya Vihar, I completed that how my thought around Durga Puja was wrong. Durga Puja Committee members' qualifications to suit all soft of citizens and pertain them in the celebrations is truly a talent that should stir one and all. Though Durga puja originated from Bengal, it has metamorphosed itself as Puja for all the group regardless of caste, canon and religious studies. I meditate it will not be an overstatement if I termed it as 'Secular Puja'. I expectancy you all would concur.
