Today is the first day of Durga Puja, and I am so excited! I woke up early this morning and helped my mom prepare for the puja. We made a small altar in our home and decorated it with flowers, candles, and incense. We also placed an image of Goddess Durga on the altar.
After we finished setting up, we began the puja by lighting the candles and incense. We offered our prayers and offerings to the Goddess, and asked for her blessing. We also chanted some mantras and sang some devotional songs.
The puja was so beautiful and special. I feel so blessed to be able to celebrate this festival with my family. I am already looking forward to next year!
