Durga Puja Symbolism and Significance

One of the most intriguing aspects of Durga Puja is the symbolism surrounding the arrival of the Goddess on a specific vehicle. During Chaitra Navratri earlier in the year, Goddess Durga arrived on a horse, signifying auspicious signs for the year ahead, including good rainfall and crop growth. However, for Shardiya Navratri 2025, it is believed that Maa Durga will arrive riding an elephant. This is considered a positive omen, foretelling abundant rainfall and growth in the country.

However, the departure of Goddess Durga on a buffalo raises concerns. It is said that this signifies potential challenges ahead, including an increase in sickness and sorrow across the nation. This symbolic departure serves as a reminder of the duality of life, where triumph and struggle often coexist.

Durga Puja, culminating in Dussehra, symbolises the victory of good over evil. As devotees worship Goddess Durga during these five days, they seek her blessings for strength, prosperity, and the overcoming of challenges. With these profound meanings attached, the festival remains an important occasion for millions across India and the world to celebrate the divine feminine energy and the power of victory.
