durgapuja

today, i decided to finally go see the 'mandap' of durgapuja, assembled for a week now, only 10mins walk from the hospital.

for approx 3 times already i had asked my friends to go see it, when we went across it on our way to the market or back, but everytime we just ended up postponing it!

i just felt our decisions and priorities werent right! how can u postpone a meeting with 'GOD' ? i mean if u have faith in such things ... then think about it. shouldn't it be your top priority?!

thats what i felt, and i could not not-visit it any longer. i thought i had been doing wrong in falling into companionship and ignoring a small visit to the temple, which costs so little, just needs some effort and will.

i went alone. enjoyed a moment of solitude and focused on my prayer, thankfully it turned out this way, because if my friends had been around, we might have ended laughing around and cracking jokes again at something or the other, missing the purpose of the visit.

just took a few pics with my phone.


decor with lightings, entrance... just like the ones u find in india at this festive time.
crowd. u can see the durga sculpture and other deities at the back.
zoomed in on durga ji. quite beautiful.
on my way back to college.
