The Durga Puja festival with the worship of the dramatic image of Goddess Durga standing on her lion and fighting the demon Mahishasur has always been the high-point of the year for Bengalis. After the 3 days of festivities, the day of Visarjan as the Devi returns to her heavenly home, is a sad one. The only consolation is that she will be back in a year.
In Rajpur however, she has a permanent residence. The idol here is really impressive, much taller than the typical idol constructed during Durga Puja. This picture possibly does not do justice to it but for anyone who feels a flutter in his heart on seeing a grand Durga Protima it is a must see.
