    About the shoe thing all North indians r complaining about,
    The Chalas r built on a stage above the ground level for this very reason. Pandal in bengali refers to the whole area of the whole structure, so when she said u can enter the pandal she only meant the structure, not the stage of protima.
    During veneration and worshipping of the goddess u open ur shoes.

    I’d like to politely request people not to insult my friend.
    She kindly offered to show me around Kolkata at no cost just because she loves the city and loves the Durga Puja festival and wanted to be hospitable to me as a guest here.
    It’s not fair or appropriate for people to criticise her here in the comment section, it takes a lot of courage to be on camera and make content that is interesting and fun while it takes very little effort to tear someone down in the comment section.
    So, please, don’t be mean, if you don’t have anything kind or constructive to say, please keep the hate comments to yourself, she deserves to be applauded for having the courage to be on camera, not treated badly.

    In Bengal , in Bengali culture we like to Empower our sisters , daughters . Here even the fathers call their daughters MAa (mother), its a land of Godesses , Shakti. Hence you would often find them outspoken, confident and more educated in general compared to few other northern states and thus might have a different view point . But im a proud Bengali and i love it. Thank you for posting this fun video , i really enjoyed it . ♥♥♥

      But we should know one thing that our customs and culture are people and community oriented.
      Changes take place with the will of the people, not against them.
      Shastrarth - debates took place to convince ones point and if the society finds it reasonable they will accept it.
      But this had some cons to it too, like the time when everyone went into slumber mode with the advent of Mahatma buddh/Sidharth's Preaching. We were attacked constantly from our western borders, we were plundered again and again. All this when everyone Inland was talking about futility of wars. They forgot to defend themselves and their own people.
      The Southern and Eastern kingdoms had it easy, since the western ones acted like a shield, their naivety to western euroasian cultures led them to accept and receive their naval missions with open arms and friendliness. Wish they knew that the concept of "Guest as a God" had some limitations when it comes to other cultures.

    Some indian fellas don't even know the meaning of gold digger. Calling out a girl a gold digger even without knowing the character is wrong. All extrovert girls aren't gold digger. If a girl is overfriendly or talkative doesn't mean she is a gold digger. She respectfully wore a saree and is helping a guy who is unaware of such places so what's a big deal? Is helping someone and showing different pandal a crime? For the shoes as others already said when it's a ground it's okay to wear shoes since that is not a temple it's just pandal. When you want to touch god definitely we need to take the shoes off . Even in navratri people play garba with their shoes on and there we have lord durga too but again if you want to visit and take blessings of god we need to take shoes off. Common sense is no more common.Stop critizing yall....

    1- Durga puja in west bengal has been added into UNESCO world Heritage site. Many artisans from around the world come to work on pandals.
    2-Also different parts of india celebrate diwali in different ways but the it is on same day.
    3- Also, hindus are not all vegetarian but the meat consumption in hindus are the least that's for sure. And approximately 30%hindus are vegetarian.
    4-different places have different variations of stories that they can explain to you in navratri but the core idea remains the same. So, if you trap yourself in thise variations you will lose the core essence or knowledge or learning that comes from it. So, listen these different stories as they all teach something one or other.
    As Hinduism is the oldest religion hence not possible for anybody to know it all as we don't have 1 or 2 books, hinduism is too deap and too dynamic. It is not static , it evolves hence you will hear different interpretations for same story.

    And ignore some comments about wearing shoes inside pandals. Nowhere in India people take off shoes inside pandals only on the platform where the deity is.

    Girllllll you’re so real for this!!!! You’re Bengali through and through. Absolutely loved the flirty undertone and the overt fun. While watching the video I knew there would be a section of North Indians who’ll get offended lol.
    Pujo is like that. It’s much more personal that religious . Although it has it’s own religious obligations but for the general masses it’s a time of pure joy. It’s a time where people have fun,where romance buds, people flirt, catch up with friends, gobble food and unapologetically be themselves. That’s the essence of pujo in Bengal.

    That was not Krishna theme, that was traditional bengoli art theme especially created by Shri Jaimini Roy. And Krishna was Avatar of Vishnu. And Vishnu is Laxi's husband. That is why he didn't get married to Durga . Lord Vishnu took so many Avataras, and one of them was Krishna Avatar. As Vishnu took Avatars, Laxmi also did..so when Vishnu was Krishna , Laxmi was Radha and Rukmani. When Vishnu was Rama, Laxmi took Avatara of Sita.

    Okay so imma keep it very simple
    1)Saraswati and Laxmi r not Durga's daughters, but they accompany her as surrogate daughter. This symbolizes that Devi or the feminine divine is the mother of all gods and demons in the cosmos. Durga is one of the material forms of the Devi.
    2) in the second pandal, Durga is represented with baby Krishna. The idol in itself is a reference to a 19th century painting called "Deb gostha" which portrays Durga along with multiple deities and krishna. It represents the image of Yogmaya, the benevolent aspect of Goddess Durga as per bhagavata purana. Yogmaya assisted Vishnu in during his birth human avatar form: Krishna. Krishna was born on Ashthami, the 8th day of Durga puja, after Devi replaced Krishna with her own infant avatar, & when tyrant king Kamsa tried to kill the infant thinking it was Krishna, she took the form of Durga to impede his evil act.

    18:48 Krishna and Maa kaali relation:
    So story goes like this ki Radha ji jo Shri Krishna ki patrani thi shaadi hone ke baad raat ko Shri Krishna ji se milne jaaya karti thi or ve dono aapase nritya kiya karte the. To ek baar Radha ji ke pati ko shak hua ki radha raat me jaati kaha hai to vo radha ka peecha karne lage. Raadha roj ki tarah krishna ji se milne gayi lekin krishna ji ko pata tha ki radha ke pati ubke peeche aa rahe hain. Radha ke pati asal me Maa kaali ke bhakt the to ye baat jaankar shri krishna jab radha ji se mile to unhone maa kaali ka roop grahan kar liya pr ye dekh kar radha ke pati khush ho gaye ki unki patni ko saakshat maa kali ke darshan hote hain.
    To ye ek symoblic story hai don't take it literally. Ye darshata hai ki Krishna or maa Kaali alag alag nahi balki ek hi hain bas unke roop alag hai.
    Infact there is a temple of Krishna-kaali in mathura as well as in kolkata!
    Thank you! 😊

    Swastika is a symbol of good and pure in Hinduism. The Nazis maligned it. How to differentiate it from what the Nazis used is that the Hindu symbol is not inverted and has Bindi like marks in each of the four sections.

The central Sun is self illuminating. In a similar way the central nucleus of the atom also has self illuminating power since it has mass. (E=mc2). That self illuminating light is same in all and everywhere. Since it is not an entity we cannot see it. We have to "experience" that light. Once that is realized, we can understand that , that light is same in all living and non living things.So that light or Brahman is all pervading and is called as Mahavishnu. That light cannot be seen through our external eyes. We have to experience that with our inward eyes. "Lord Siva " he is "Adi Yogi" or first Yogi who taught this to the world through Yoga.

The meaning of the word "Brahma" is ever expanding.

    the swastika has been a sacred symbol in many cultures around the world, including Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Native American traditions. In these contexts, it represents positive concepts such as auspiciousness, good fortune, prosperity, and well-being.
    Nazis stole the symbol for their genocidal, psychopathic motives.
    Your pretty friend did a good job in explaining everything. At least better than during Ganesh Chaturthi since you just assumed stuff. I wish you had someone knowledgeable explaining the rituals at that time and during Garba.
    Hinduism isn’t an organized religion like the abrahamic ones.

      Bagwat Gita by lord Krishna is only book which all scientist around world appreciated . It has all your answers not relegious but only about self . Please do learn about Krishna Phil. Krishna and Ram are avatar of lord Vishnu which showed way to humanity. Righteousness,food to eat , importance of exercise, y to respect all . Above all meaning of life . Here are just few teaching from starting chapter. There is lot more Phil u will be really shocked
      There are three gates to this self-destructive hell: lust, anger, and greed. Renounce these three..!!
      Calmness, gentleness, silence, self-restraint, and purity: these are the disciplines of the mind..!!
      The truly wise mourn neither for those who are living, nor for those who have passed away.
      One who sees inaction in action, and action in inaction, is intelligent among men..!!
      When a man dwells on the pleasure of sense, attraction for them arises in him. From attraction arises desire, the lust of possession, and this leads to passion, to anger. From passion comes confusion of mind, then loss of remembrance, the forgetting of duty. From this loss comes the ruin of reason, and the ruin of reason leads man to destruction..!!
      You have a right to perform your prescribed duties, but you are not entitled to the fruits of your actions..!!
      Through selfless service, you will always be fruitful and find the fulfillment of your desires.

    Come to Odisha for : to experience the real devotion of the figure / statue of the goddess on the pendal .
    We don't do outer beautiful pendal as well the Bangalis do but we do the real face design of the goddess .
    Like if you compare the face design ours is way ahead in front of those figures for sure .

    I'm not associating that to how women are treated, rapes, and what-not of present day since that still happens(regardless of country). Men that pray to Durga ma and have their profile pics as ma Durga and then force sex on women. Sadly, I've come across men like that in my life. But anyways, atleast I can be happy that we have goddesses in our religion and we can have this one festival.
