The biggest religious festival of the Hindu community, Durga Puja, begins today (Sunday) across Bangladesh. Preparations to welcome Goddess Durga are underway at the Dhakeshwari National Temple in Dhaka from early morning. The festivities formally commence with the Bodhon ritual and the installation of the sacred urn, marking the goddess’s invocation. According to the Hindu almanac, the rituals of invitation and sanctification will be completed by 11:11 AM today during the Shasthi Tithi. By evening, the Bodhon ceremony will be held at the temple, accompanied by the resonant sounds of conch shells, uludhwani (ritual chanting), and drums. This year, Durga Puja will be celebrated at 33,000 pandals nationwide. Law enforcement agencies have tightened security to ensure peaceful celebrations.
