Varanasi: In Shardia Navratri, the festival of Durga Puja is also celebrated with great fanfare along with Shakti Puja. From Bengal to Baba Vishwanath’s city of Benares, its special image is visible. These days the glow of this festival is being seen in Banaras which is known as Mini Bengal. Beautiful venues are attracting people. Somewhere the shape of the Ram temple of Ayodhya is seen, and somewhere else a glimpse of the Pashupatinath temple of Nepal is seen. At every such pandal, devotees flock to see the adishakti Maa Durga.

A glimpse of Mini India is seen in these pooja pandals at various places in Varanasi. A grand version of the Lord Ram temple built in Ayodhya is built at Shivpur in Varanasi. A large crowd of devotees gather to catch a glimpse of it. Apart from this, Maa Durga is giving darshan to her devotees at the Somnath Temple in Gujarat at the Mani Stadium in Shivpur. The beauty of the pandal is such that it is thronged by devotees not only at night but also during the day.

Apart from these pandals, the replica of Nepal’s Pashupatinath Temple in Hatwa Market is also giving the devotees a sense of Nepal in Kashi itself. The beauty of the pandal is such that people come from far and wide to see it. Amarnath is also seen in the city of Shiva during the Durga Puja festival.

Visit Baba Amarnath in Varanasi.

Mathur Supporting Club in Sigra, Varanasi has transformed its venue into Baba Barfani’s Amarnath Cave. Coming here, devotees may have the illusion for a moment that they are in Amarnath or Varanasi. Apart from these, you can also visit the divine cave of Goddess Vishnu in this festival of Durga Puja. Devotees are happy to see Mata Adishakti passing through the caves in the pandal set up in Ardali Bazar.
