It is the most significant and widely celebrated festival in the region, particularly in Kolkata, where it is celebrated with grandeur and enthusiasm. Durga Puja usually falls in the Hindu month of Ashwin (usually September or October) and lasts for four to five days. The festival is dedicated to the worship of Goddess Durga, who is considered the divine mother and the embodiment of female power (Shakti). Durga is depicted as a ten-armed goddess riding a lion, symbolizing her victory over the demon Mahishasura. Barajaguli Durga Puja is famous Durga Puja in Haringhata.
The main features of Durga Puja include:
1. *Idol Worship:* Elaborate clay idols of Goddess Durga and other deities like Ganesha, Lakshmi, Saraswati, and Kartik are created and worshipped. These idols are usually beautifully crafted and decorated.

5. *Cultural Programs:* Durga Puja is not just a religious festival but also a cultural extravaganza. People participate in music, dance, and theater performances, and many art exhibitions are held during this time.
