Hello lovely readers, Shubho bijoya to all (as most of you will be reading this post-Dussehra). In this post, I will share my first experience celebrating a full-fledged Hindu festival in Seattle. I did celebrate Holi in March 2022. However, it was a homely affair with a few friends coming to our place for food and games. But we did end up playing with colors, which was totally fun. You can watch my short video on YouTube of our Holi celebration in Seattle.
Welcome to the season of dhaak and dhunuchi a.k.a Durga Puja. One of the most-awaited festivals in the Eastern belt celebrated to mark the victory of Goddess Durga over the demon Mahishasur. This five-day-long festival involves pandal hopping, hogging on street food, adda and watching cultural shows.
Durga Puja is just a few days away and the excitement is through the roof. Chittaranjan Park also called the mini Bengal of Delhi is one of the best places to be during Durga Puja. The setup is grand and can be quite overwhelming for people who are coming here for the first time. Moreover, there are 10 Pandals spread across the place and locating them can be tricky.
Just a month remains for India’s most loved annual festival- Durga Puja. Though it’s the biggest festival in Bengal it brings all of India and South Asia together to celebrate this grandeur.
