Description of the Durga Puja:

She is supposed to bring wealth, health, and happiness along with her. She symbolizes female dynamism and generosity. She is said to have incarnated from the power of the great lords like Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva. So, she emblematizes potential vigor and vice demolishing capacity.

According to the legend, she was created by the great Lords to annihilate the powerful Mahisashura, who took over the throne of the Gods from the king Indra. However, nobody could do anything because Brahma eternally blessed Mahisashura so that no man could slay him.

So, the gods had to create a female deity with a superpower who could destroy the demon. Durga was born from the fire of the yagna, so she is also known as Yagnaseni. Sri Ram Navami is usually celebrated on the ninth day of this Puja, after which the effigy of Ravana is burnt on the 10th day.

This is known as Dussera. During this Puja, people buy new clothes; eat sweet dishes and Prasada of the Goddess. Durga Puja continues for five long days and is celebrated with kindness and enthusiasm by the Tripurans and the Indians.
