Durga Puja and Bengalis are inseparable and the extravagant decorations that go around the city are perfect eye-candies. Kolkata is a city that thrives on traditions and culture and you will find a story in every nook and corner of the city that will never fail to amaze you. One such surprise element is Jagadhatri puja which holds almost the same glamour like that of Durga Puja but is still unknown to many outside Bengal and Orissa.

Jagadhatri puja takes place a month after Durga puja and the festivities continue as long as 10 days. This puja is particularly popular in the Hooghly district of West Bengal, especially in Rishra, Chandannagar, and Howrah.

Devi Jagadhatri is one of the many incarnations of Goddess Durga. She is a caring mother who loves and nurtures her children. She is the less fierce avatar of Mother Durga and is often known as the benevolent caregiver of the Universe. Her idol is symbolic of four hands and her lion seems to pound on the elephant with its claws. This whole sculpture is symbolic of the ego of Gods being crush at the hands of the Goddess.

Once when King Krishna Chandra was sleeping, he dreamt of a divine beauty who instructed him to worship him as she appeared in his dream on the next Shukla Navami.

Later this festival became popular in Chandanagar when the king’s friend first initiated the puja in the year 1755.
