Durga Puja 2023: How Mumbai pandals prepare delectable Bengali cuisine for bhog

On Day 2 of Durga Puja festivities, Kajol was seen pandal hopping with son Yug.

Trinamool Congress MP Mahua Moitra, who is embroiled in the 'cash for query' row, has hit back at the alleged 'affidavit' of business tycoon Darshan Hiranandani, calling it 'a joke.'

The introduction of women priests and drummers at Durga Pujas in the Bengali community is a recent development. The main challenge was finding suitable female purohits, but a cadre of trained women purohits has emerged in the past decade. These women have a better understanding of mantras and rituals and are not restricted to Brahmins. The only hurdle now is the mindset that only males can be priests.

Durga Puja, the biggest religious festival of the Bangalee Hindu community, will begin tomorrow with the incarnation of Goddess Durga on the day of Maha Shasthi at temples and mandaps across the country.
