#DURGAPUJA ART COLLECTION @ MAYA EMPORIUM

This is the time of the annual festival of #Navratri (Nine Nights)/#DurgaPuja (as it is called in the Eastern parts of India mainly in the state of Bengal). It is observed in India (as a mega scale event) and many parts of the world (including Australia) in honour of the goddess #Durga- the supreme goddess who battles and emerges victorious over the buffalo demon Mahishasura to help restore dharma (path of rightness).

People wear ethnic wear and dance in the tune of joyous celebration! Dandiya is one of the popular dance forms of India which are often performed during this time. It is believed to be the indication of dramatisation of the fight between Goddess Durga and Mahishasur – the Demon King. The colourful sticks used to perform Dandiya represents the sword of Goddess Durga.
