The Images are of different designs and sizes. They are dressed in fine clothes and decked with beautiful ornaments. Goddess Durga has ten arms in which she holds weapons. During the puja the poor are fed, alms are distributed and Prasad is distributed to the people.
3. The vijaya Dashami is considered to be an auspicious day. On this day people visit their relatives. The people of the trading classes begin their new year from this day. At some places Ramlila is staged and Ravan is killed on the Dashami day.
4. There are various stories connected with the vijaya Dashami. It is said that Ram killed Ravan on this day and performed the Puja of Goddess Durga. Since then it has been celebrated every year on this day. Another story is that one King Suratha performed the Puja on this day. The third is that Goddess Durga killed Mahishasur, a demon, on this day.
5. At some places the Durga Pja is performed twice in a year, in Ashwin and in Chait. The puja of Ashwin is known as Shardiya Puja and that of chait as Basanti Puja. But the Basanti Puja is not very common. In the Puja sacrifice of goats, rams, etc…, is made and those who eat meat take these as Prasad of goddess Durga. The Puja is happy time for all. People put on new clothes. The Joys of children know no bounds. The grown-up people also enjoy it merrily.
