People take part in the celebrations jubilantly and offer their deepest prayers to the Goddess. Durga Puja is a big event in London and the U.S. as well. Several Indian and non-Indian immigrants living abroad get absorbed in the four day long festival and have a gala celebration.Durga puja is the time to buy new clothes, have whole lot of fun, and get reunited with friends, family and distant relatives. People forget all worries and engage in fun activities during those four days. Durga puja is a nice log break for students and office goers, as they get to relax and enjoy for some time. The myth of Durga puja is entrenched in ancient Indian mythologies and it is interesting to know the origin of Goddess Durga and her powers. She is the universal symbol of prowess, creation, protection, and righteousness. Weapons in the hands of Durga such as a mace, sword, disc, arrow, and trident symbolizes that one weapon cannot destroy different kinds of enemies.
