Durga Puja is an annual Hindu festival in South Asia that celebrates worship of the Hindu mother goddess Durga. The celebrations begin in different forms throughout India (and even abroad). The north witnesses people calmly fasting for 7 days and the people in the east can't stop celebrating and eating. The west is marked by the Garba dance festival and the south celebrates Durga Puja around temples like Vijayawada in all its glory.
Maa Durga, as the godess is popularly known, is also known by her many names.
