DHAKA, Oct 13, 2023 (BSS) - Mahalaya, an auspicious occasion that heralds the advent of Goddess Durga, will be celebrated at the dawn tomorrow through different rituals by Hindu community members across the country. With the beginning of 'Devipaksha', Mahalaya is observed six days before Durga Puja, the biggest religious festival of the Bangalee Hindu community. Marking the day, special programmes of Mahalaya will be arranged at different temples across the country, including the capital, tomorrow at dawn. Although Durga Puja will formally begin on October 20 on the day of Maha Shasti, the advent of Goddess Durga will be heralded tomorrow. This invitation is extended through the chanting of mantras from Sri Sri Chandi and singing of devotional songs.
