Diglipur, Mar 26: Traditional Basanti Puja begun from Yesterday at Subhash Gram, Diglipur and will continue for four days. The actual worship of the Goddess Durga as stipulated by the Hindu scriptures falls in the month of Chaitra, which roughly overlaps with March or April and is called Basanti Durga Puja.
The more popular form, which is also known as Sharadiya (Autumnal) Durga Puja, is celebrated later in the year with the dates falling either in September or October. Since the Goddess is invoked at the wrong time, it is called “Akaal Bodhon” in Bengali. This is the fourth year of the celebrations at Subhash Gram.
