Navratri Puja in Kolkata is more than just a festival and holds an exclusive face compared to the rest of India. However, the city’s heart is filled not just with the garba circle for the nine nights but rather each day is a divine remembrance of nine forms of Goddess Durga.
At the very heart of Kolkata, lamppost lights and marigold bulbs adorn the streets; homes flicker with akhand jyoti and rangoli at the doorstep is waiting for the Goddess Durga to still come.
And the festival blends seamlessly with Durga Puja fervor, resulting in multitasking preparation in the fast-moving, busy streets during each day of the festival.
However, during the sacred nine days, what matters the most is the divine reverence and invocation of Goddess Durga. To make the sacred nine days solemnly conclude the puja with deep faith, 99Pandit is what makes the difference.
