AGARTALA, Sep 29 (TIWN): Tripura’s every corner celebrating joyously the Durga Puja on Maha-Navami.
At the marquees and the households worshipping the goddess, people partook bhog (community feast of food items offered to the Goddess first), comprising a varied spread from 'luchis' (deep fried puffed bread) to 'khichuri', vegetable items, to fish and even mutton.
As per Hindu mythology, Goddess Basanti killed Chando and Mundo -- two asuras (demons) at the confluence (Sandhi) of Mahaashtami and Mahanavami. The Goddess was worshipped as the undefeated - and offered her favourite food items.
In the age of internet where social media sites and apps keep us glued to our electronic devices, it is certainly worth to be a theme at during the Pujas. The makeshift selfie zones with classical painting meme are a hit among the city dwellers.
