Today marks the culmination of Durga Puja, the most significant festival for Sanatan Dharma followers, with *Bijaya Dashami* scheduled for Wednesday, October 21st. The five-day festival will conclude with the immersion of the Goddess Durga’s idols. According to religious beliefs, the goddess will return to *Kailash*. While joy has filled the atmosphere, devotees are now experiencing a sense of sadness as they prepare to bid farewell to their deity. Preparations for the immersion ceremony are underway at *mandap*s across the country. The occasion of *Mahanavami* symbolizes the defeat of evil and the triumph of good, a core tenet of the festival’s meaning. This time represents both celebration and poignant reflection for those observing Durga Puja.
