There is no limit to our joy during Durga Puja. We are surprised to think that Durga Puja is the best puja in West Bengal state as well as India. I feel proud to be a Bengali to join the joy of Durga Puja.
The scriptures (sastra in Bengali language) specify several ways to worship Goddess Durga on each day (for five days) of Durga Puja. Each day's worship calls for particular materials, which must be prepared well in advance of the event. The following is a list of the items required for Durga Puja on each day.
