Durgapuja is the biggest religious festival of Hindu, especially Banglali Hindu community. The festival celebrates every year in the middle of October for 10 days long. The Goddess Durga is Mother of the Universe. She represents the infinite power of the universe and is a symbol of a female dynamism. Durga is the sign of Justice and Peace. When demonic forces create imbalance, all god unite and becoming one divine force called Shakti or Durga. Goddess Durga killed the powerful demon Oshur and his commanders for controlling the universe with goodness as God will.

This force is sculptured as Durga statue with ten armed hands. She is most often shown as riding on a lion. However she is gorgeously dressed up with royal red cloth, ornaments, smoothing eye, crown and luminous dark hair. The various tools in Her hands reflect the eminent supremacy of god.

After nine days long worship with total heart and devotion Hindu believers feel the unity with God through Durga. They respect Durga as true mother and sacrifice the statue in river in day of ten, which is know as doshomi . In Bangladesh and India Durga puja nationally celebrate as holiday.
