Durga Puja is a Hindu festival celebrated in honor of the goddess Durga. It is a major festival in India and is also celebrated in other parts of the world. The festival marks the victory of good over evil, as Goddess Durga defeated the buffalo-demon Mahishasura. The festival is celebrated over five days, with the last day being the most significant. On this day, devotees perform Pushpanjali, a ritual that involves offering flowers and prayers to the goddess. Sandhi Puja is also performed, which is a ritual that takes place during the transition from Ashtami to Navami. The exact time of Sandhi Puja depends on the local tithi.
