SHARADIYA MOMENTS

Her name means “the invincible” or “the inaccessible”. Yet when she comes to see her children on earth, Mother Durga is all accessible, at least for those who care to reach her. And the sense of joy, beauty and the power of good over evil she showers the world with is one of regeneration and reassurance. Here in these snaps, we capture this year's Durga Puja celebration and its mood among devotees.
