About The Idol:
Goddess Durga's depiction in itself is the explanation of how humans should act in their lives in every situation. The presence of 10 globes in her hands teaches us the way of life where it represents that the World is One - "Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam". The idea of the phrase remains relevant today as it emphasises a global perspective, prioritising the collective well-being over individual or family interests. It encourages to think about the welfare of others, fostering global solidarity and responsibility, especially in addressing crucial issues like climate change, sustainable development, peace, and tolerance of differences. From knowledge to wisdom to love and loyalty, she provides her benevolent assistance in every aspect of life.
This year Durga Puja begins with Mahashashthi on Ocotber 20th and concluded with Vijaya Dashami on Ocotber 24th.
