When does the puja begin?
About the fourteenth century, a famous ancient writer Shulapani described the form and worship of Mother Jagaddhatri. But the work had not started then.
In the eighteenth century AD, the king of Nadia, Krishna Chandra, was thrown into prison by the Nawab of Bengal, Ali Bardi Khan. When Tinni was released, the sound of Dhak was coming on the way from Murshidabad to Nadia. The three of them searched for Vijaya Dashami that day. The king was very sad because he could not perform any solemn ceremony during the Durga Puja that year. The King fell asleep in sorrow and dreamt of Goddess Bhagwati to be worshipped exactly a month later on the Navami Tithi of Shukla Paksha in the month of Kartik. King Krishnachandra gave the idol of his dreaming mother Jagaddhatri Devi to the artist and worshiped with great pomp on Navami.
Maharaj Krishnachandra inspired his friend Indranarayan Choudhury to perform Jagaddhatri Puja and later Indranarayan Choudhury started Jagaddhatri Puja at his native place Chandannagar.
