From the onset of Navratri to the dazzling magnificence of Diwali and the warmth of Bhai Dooj, October is a tapestry of celebrations woven with love, devotion, and boundless joy.


In this enchanting time of year, India adorns herself in vibrant colors, lights up the darkest corners, and fills the air with the fragrant promise of new beginnings. It is a period when traditions come to life, history finds expression through rituals, and the bonds of family and friendship are renewed around the auspicious flames of diyas.

The month commences with the melodic melodies of the dandiya sticks clashing in rhythm. Navratri, a nine-night festival dedicated to the divine feminine, is celebrated with fervor and zeal across the country. The nights come alive with mesmerizing garba dances, intricate Rangoli patterns, and the divine glow of diyas.

As October unfolds, the grandeur of Durga Puja sweeps across West Bengal. On Ashtami, devotees worship the goddess with opulent pandals, intricate idols, and a grand procession. The air is thick with devotion and the sounds of conch shells.


Durga Maha Navami Puja - Seeking Blessings (23rd October 2023)

The celebrations continue on Navami, where the goddess is revered with fasting, prayers, and rituals. Devotees seek her blessings for a prosperous and harmonious life.


Dussehra - Triumph of Good over Evil (24th October 2023)

Dussehra, also known as Vijayadashami, marks the victory of Lord Rama over the demon king Ravana. In addition to religious ceremonies, effigies of Ravana are set ablaze to symbolize the triumph of good over evil. The day is a spectacle of fiery festivities.


Guru Nanak Jayanti - A Sacred Occasion (27th October 2023)
