Durga (Sanskrit: दुर्गा, IAST: Durgā) is a major Hindu goddess, worshipped as a principal aspect of the mother goddess Mahadevi. She is associated with protection, strength, motherhood, destruction, and wars.[4][5][6]Durga's legend centres around combating evils and demonic forces that threaten peace, prosperity, and dharma, representing the power of good over evil.[5][7] Durga is believed to unleash her divine wrath against the wicked for the liberation of the oppressed, and entails destruction to empower creation.[8] Durga is seen as a motherly figure and often depicted as a beautiful woman, riding a lion or tiger, with many arms each carrying a weapon and often defeating demons.[2][9][10][11] She is widely worshipped by the followers of the goddess-centric sect, Shaktism, and has importance in other denominations like Shaivism and Vaishnavism.[7][12]The most important texts of Shaktism, Devi Mahatmya and Devi Bhagavata Purana, revere Devi (the Goddess) as the primordial creator of the universe and the Brahman (ultimate truth and reality).[13][14][15] She is one of the five equivalent deities in Panchayatana puja of the Smarta tradition of Hinduism. She is also considered to be the younger sister of Vishnu according to Bhagavata purana.Durga has a significant following all over Nepal, India, Bangladesh and many other countries. She is mostly worshipped after spring and autumn harvests, especially during the festivals of Durga Puja, Durga Ashtami, Vijayadashami, Deepavali, and Navaratri.[21][22]…

The exact translation of the word 'Chokhudan' means donation of eyes but here it means 'giving life' or bringing it to consciousness. It is said eyes are windows to one's soul. After the clay idols are finished, the master craftsman draws the eyes on the day of the Mahalaya to make the idol come alive. It is said it takes years to master the drawing of eyes by a craftsman. Due to commercial reasons I guess this ritual is seldom followed now as but yes only a master craftsman still draws the eyes.This story is based say about 30/35 years ago when boys were still boys, unaffected by technology and still loved to play on the playground, thrilled to get a pair of new leather shoes even if it was to be a part of school uniform and walked stiffly wearing them so that they don't crease.It is also to be noted that in the households, especially in rural areas where Durga Puja took place, even till some years ago the craftsmen came to the household, stayed with the family to make the idol. This was a practice for generations each family having their own craftsman, a family tie up but I don't think with so much of commercialism the practice any longer exists...…

Will you let the cosmic energy to show you what's really the cause you're presenting here in this place?Well, I did... because instead of backing away I wanted to see what was ahead of me.
