Devotional Songs for Durga Puja Celebrations

In Bengal, Durga Puja is celebrated for nine days, starting from Mahalaya, and it is during this duration that people in the state come together for one of the biggest celebrations of life, keeping their woes away for these few days. For them it is the ultimate opportunity to rejoice and feel like queens and kings, taking lungs full of oxygen before they dive back in the troubled waters of life once again for the rest of the year. The best period of this festival normally is between 17th September when Vishvakarma Puja is celebrated in the state and Sasthi, the sixth day of the festival which is when the fun starts in full earnest. Anticipation is in the air and even as you prepare for the festival you feel a sense of excitement unlike anything else.

This is the time when Kolkata becomes kallolini (gorgeous in English) in the truest sense. For the rest of the year she is a demure bride just going about her life. These few days of the year are when she fully comes to life and is all decked up for everyone else to see.
