Maha Saptami observed today
Puja mandaps across the country have come alive with the beat of dhak drums, the sound of conch shells and ululation. The fragrance of flowers, incense and agarbatti has spread the festive mood all around. After the rituals of Shashthi's Bodhon, Amantran and Adhivas, Maha Saptami, one of the most important days of Sharadiya Durgotsav, is being celebrated on Saturday in a solemn and festive atmosphere. Since morning, devotees have been crowding the mandaps for the chanting of mantras and darshan of the goddess.
