T’SOI Girl Durga Puja #4
Durga—also known as Bhavani, Amba, Chandika, Gauri, Parvati and Mahishasuramardini—is the ‘Mother goddess’ and the ‘Protector of the Righteous’ to Hindu devotees. This is a nine-night celebration that more broadly celebrates the divine feminine. On the last day of Shardiya Navratri, women from the Bengali community offer vermilion to Maa Durga.
