Saptami rituals began early morning today, i.e, October 10. Here are the rituals that are followed on the two major days of Durga Puja:
Maha Saptami: Maha Saptami marks the beginning of the main puja rituals. A banana tree, known as ‘Nabapatrika,’ is bathed in the holy water of a river or pond and is dressed in a traditional saree.
Maha Ashtami: This day is considered the most significant day of Durga Puja, as Goddess Durga is believed to have finally destroyed the demon, putting an end to the ordeals of the Gods. The destruction of Mahishasura also symbolises the triumph of good over evil.
