<font color="blue"> As per Hindu scriptures, the festival marks the victory of goddess
Durga in her battle against the shape-shifting buffalo-headed asura, Mahishasura.
Thus, the festival epitomizes the victory of good over evil.<br></font>

The primary goddess revered during Durga Puja is Durga, but celebrations also
include other major deities such as Lakshmi, Saraswati, Ganesha, and Kartikeya.
Bengalis consider these deities to be Durga's children, and Durga Puja is believed to
commemorate Durga's visit to her natal home with her beloved children.The
celebrations end with Vijayadashami, when, amid loud chants and drumbeats, sacred
images are carried in huge processions to local rivers, where they are immersed. That
custom is symbolic of the departure of the deity to her home and to her husband,
Shiva, in the Himalayas. </font>

open field or large hall. It may only be performed in congregation (jamāat) and
features seven additional Takbirs, raising of the hands to the ears whilst reciting the
Takbir, saying "Allāhu Akbar", which means "God is the greatest". Sunni schools

salat has six Takbirs in the first rakat at the end of Tilawa, before rukū, and five in the
second.<br></font>

sweet dishes and foods are often prepared and consumed during the celebration.

HOLI & DOL YATRA


<html>
<head> <title>Holi & Dol Yatra</title> </head>
<body bgcolor="yellow">
<h1><font color="blue"><u><p align="center">HOLI & DOL YATRA</p></u></font></h1>
<font color="red">
Holi has been celebrated in the Indian subcontinent for centuries, with poems
documenting celebrations dating back to the 4th century CE. It is celebrated in
March, corresponding to the Hindu calendar month of Phalguna. Though Dol and Holi
are the same festival, they are based on different Hindu mythological stories. While
Bengali Dol centres on Krishna and Radha, Holi is based on the story of Prahlad, a
North Indian incarnation of Vishnu.
<p align="center"><img src="holi1.jpg" border="2" width="250pt" height="180pt">
<img src="holi2.jpg" border="2" width="250pt" height="180pt">
<img src="holi3.jpg" border="2" width="250pt" height="180pt"> </p>
<font color="red"> Some Legends say that the demon king Hiranyakashyap wanted
everybody in his kingdom to worship only him but to his great disappointment, his
son, Prahlad became an ardent devotee of Lord Naarayana. Hiaranyakashyap
commanded his sister, Holika to enter a blazing fire with Prahlad in her lap. Holika
had a boon whereby she could enter fire without any damage on herself. However,
she was not aware that the boon worked only when she enters the fire alone. As a
result she paid a price for her sinister desires, while Prahlad was saved by the grace of
the god for his extreme devotion. The festival, therefore, celebrates the victory of
good over evil and also the triumph of devotion.<br>

<img src="dol3.jpg" border="2" width="250pt" height="180pt"></p><br>
Legend of Lord Krishna is also associated with play with colors as the Lord started the
tradition of play with colours by applying colour on his beloved Radha and other
gopis. Gradually, the play gained popularity with the people and became a
tradition.The ritual starts by lighting up the bonfire one day before the day of Holi
and this process symbolizes the triumph of good over the bad. On these days people
play with colours with their friends and families and in evening they show love and
respect to their close ones with Abeer.
