Durga Puja 2022: Wishes, images to share with friends and family

Durga Puja 2022: The largest festival of the Bengalis is here. Every year, Durga Puja is awaited throughout the year to bask in the festivities of the ten-day festival. Durga Puja starts with Mahalaya – Debi'r bodhon. On the day of Mahalaya, the eyes are drawn on the idols of Goddess Durga. Mahalaya is also referred to as the first day of Durga Puja. During these ten days, the streets deck up, people wear new clothes and become homebound to spend the days with their families, friends, near and dear ones. Pandal hopping is one of the main attractions during this time. Themed puja pandals are made in various parts of West Bengal and people throng the streets to witness the same.

Durga Puja is also the time of the year when there is no bar on the happiness. It is the celebration of the homecoming of Goddess Durga and her four children to earth from Kailash Parvat. Goddess Lakhsmi, Goddess Saraswati, Lord Ganesha and Lord Kartik also accompany their mother Goddess Durga. People wish each other happiness and prosperity during this time. We have curated a list of wishes, messages and images that you can share with friends and family during the festival:
