Mumbai: Durga Puja, Bengal's biggest annual celebration, is now a part of Mumbai's vibrant festival calendar. The festival, apart from its deep spiritual significance, is an opportunity for the city to experience the rich art, culture, and cuisine of Bengal.
Durga Puja will be celebrated from Sashti, the sixth day of Ashwin, corresponding to Sunday, September 28. The celebrations will conclude on the tenth day, Dashami or Dussehra, on October 2.
