Durga Pujo, also known as Durga Puja, is a vibrant and culturally significant Hindu festival celebrated primarily in the Indian subcontinent, particularly in the state of West Bengal, India, and among Bengali communities worldwide. This annual festival commemorates the triumph of the goddess Durga over the demon Mahishasura, symbolizing the victory of good over evil. The origins of Durga Pujo can be traced back to ancient mythology and scriptures. The festival's history is rich and multifaceted, evolving over centuries to encompass various cultural, social, and religious aspects. Durga Pujo is characterized by elaborate pandals (temporary structures) that house intricately crafted idols of the goddess Durga and her entourage, surrounded by artistic decorations, cultural performances, and traditional rituals. This unique blend of art, spirituality, and community celebration has led to the inclusion of Durga Pujo in the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity in 2020, recognizing its significance in fostering cultural diversity, social cohesion, and intergenerational transmission of knowledge.
