Hello steemian friends how are you? Hope you are doing well. I am also very good with your blessings. Today I am celebrating the festival of Durga Puja in our country that means Ashtami Puja is being held today. So I will keep you informed about Ashtami Puja activities throughout the day. I am going to share with you the whole day's activities, the way puja is performed in our Bangladesh. So without delay let's get started.

I left home around 3 pm with my elder brother. First we came to a puja mandap next to our house. This temple is located about 2 km from our house. Coming here, I entered the temple and visited the idol of Maa Durga. My elder brother and I both spent some time like this.

Puja at the temple next to our area

This temple is located inside the Ghatak house in Dubaill Bazar, next to our area. I came to this temple after about a year to see the puja ie the temple was also observed. Anyway, my elder brother and I spent quite some time doing this, as I have said before. Then in no time I sat in the car saying why I got in the car because I am going today with my elder brother to see puja at my elder sister's house. Apart from this, one can see as many pujas as possible while travelling.

On the way, I and my elder brother visited another puja

Anyway, as I said earlier, there will be time to visit several pujas during the journey. So I also saw a temple while traveling. So in no time after stopping the car, I and my elder brother both stood next to the temple and visited Maa Durga. After saying, I took a few pictures and captured them. I have already captured the pictures among you. So we visited 2 Maa Durga idols in total. It feels very good that this idol has been specially made and it has a lot of beauty.

However, I spent quite some time looking at a few idols like this. Then we have already moved to Kalihati city. Here we got down from the car to spend some time and go to sister's house after purchasing some sweets from the sweet shop. So in no time I ended up observing a few sweet shops. Because any kind of sweets in any shop has good and bad so I decided to check and buy sweets from a shop. I have observed for some time that this store's sweets are very good and advanced. So I purchased three kg of sweets from here whose price list I mentioned above. Anyway, when the sweets were over, we directly took the CNG vehicle, i.e. me and my elder brother to my sister's house.

Maa Durga Puja worship at my sister's house

However I have already mentioned that Durga Puja is being held at my elder sister's house. As soon as we reached home, my sister took us to the side of the puja mantab. Maa Durga Puja is performed next to the Kali temple near my sister's house. Anyway I spent quite some time observing Maa Durga. Needless to say, I have captured a few pictures in a short while which I have shared with you. Me and my elder brother captured a selfie. It takes a while to do this. In the meantime, Prasad is being distributed and people are coming from different places to eat Prasad.

Already my sister took us inside the house to eat prasad. Then after entering the house I saw several people eating prasad and some people distributing prasad. I am very impressed by this situation because people from far and wide are coming to receive and eat prasad and it is very happy. So in no time we also sat down to eat prasad. They have already brought us prasad, khichuri, sabzi, pies. Such food is organized only during Puja. This kind of food is very tasty anyway in no time I started eating hot vegetable khichuri. In this way some time and expenditure is spent on eating Prasad.

During the night Aarti or Alati

Aarti or Alati Dewar processing is going on around 9 pm. Everyone is already ready to give the dhoop agarbati with the necessary equipment. I have also captured a few pictures in the meantime. At first a priest was ready to bring the man and was in the ceremony for some time. I always like Aarti and Aalati topics very much and I am filled with joy. However, in this way, the program will be reviewed until almost two in the night.

Many people have come to visit the puja

At my sister's house, everyone rejoiced in Maa Durga puja. I have captured some pictures here where in the first picture me and my sister in law then in the second picture you can see many people gathering to watch the Durga Puja dance, song and alti performance. In this way, the puja activities will continue till many nights. However, I spent quite some time like this during the puja.

Meanwhile, there are several rules for saving the sound system. Everyone is aware of them especially six people Ansar Bahini has kept them on duty during this Durga Puja. In this way, no person can face any kind of political and diplomatic problems during the worship. Anyway, the program continues till two in the night and then it is declared over. So today I am ending Ashtami Puja activities like this.
